A dense fog perfectly obscured | the Bay when the B. left her dock, which circum: | stance, in connection with the fact that the tide was at half ebb, probably caused her to mistake her | birth in the United States, whereas the figures of eour: Her position was upright and not at all @angerous, and it was supposed that she would be | able to get away, without assistance, upon the rise @fthetide. Early this morning che will doubtless be | speeding her way on the bosom of the Atlantic. | ‘The steamehip Niogsra arrived st Boston last | evening, and her mails will reach this city to mor- | yew. Tho despatch states that she brings no news | ef epecial interest in addition to what was published | yesterday. The Nisgora’s news bad the effect of depressing cotton to the extent of one-fourth of a cent por lb , and to advance flour from six to twelve cents per | barrel, at which holders were tolerably firm. Owing to good supplies on the market, wheat and corn | were unchanged by the news. The feoling in | freights was aleo better, with little doing, however, | ae partics were waitirg the receipt of the steamer's | Ietters. | The telegraphs this morning furnish some addi- tional items of quite interesting Mexican intelli- | gence. Col. Benton’s letter relative tothe Tehuan- | tepec treaty appears to have given great satisfac- tion to the Mexicans, from the fact that it not only | throws much light on the eubject, but is aleo a sim- ple act of justice from an enlightened American. | A very curious proposition has been mado by Senor | Gransdoz and company, to defend the whole north- | ern frontier of the republic against the Indians. He offers to do this by contract, for the sum of sixteen { thousand dollars per month, and permission toim- | port and sell goods free of daty. Numerous Yan- kees would agree to perform this service for a much smaller sum, and in addition, would undertake to quell | the revolutionists, and drive the French out of the | State of Soncra. Indeed, during the Mexican war, | there was a rumor afloat that one of our progres- | sive fellow citizens made proposals to President | Polk to carry on the war, and, within s stipulated time, bring our neighbors on the other side of the Rio Grande to their senses, for a certain sum. | This proposition wae, of course, declined, for the | reasen that it was believed that the regulars and volunteers of the army would satisfactority perform | the work. Four days’ later advices from Buenos Ayres state that Gen Urquiza bad disbanded his troops and de- elared that be entertained no feeling of hostility to- | } wards the people. He appears to look upon the re- cent revolution a8 2 matter of little importance, and, | im a circular to the representatives of other nations, inferms them that matters relating to foreign affuirs | must be submitted to him. As Dictator, he has an- meurced his intention of installing the Sovereign Congress. It would thus appear that he is deter- | mined, if possible, to re-establish a government of his own, notwithstanding his apparently peaceable dewonttrations towards the people. but little who rules in that part of the world, for the inhabitants are never long satisfied with any form of government, be it good or bad. Like the figures in a keleidoscope, they are continually | ebargirg. Gen Persifer F. Smith, commander of the Texas @ivision of the army, left New Orleans for Washing- | ton, last Sunday. | We publish to-day a full report of the testimony j taken during yesterdsy by the Coroner, relative to | the recent fatal etrophe in Thirty second street The verdict, which was rendered at a late hour of | the evening, is also given, from which it will be seen that the contractors are held to answer before the Grand Jury. | The attention ef the reader is directed to the genera) news and advertising columus for much in- teresting information, to which we have no room | more particularly to refer. The religious portion ef the community, eepecially, will find much to en- | tertain them in another column. Buterference of France tn the Affairs of this Continent, The attitude assumed by France in taking pos session of the peninsula of Samana, and extending ite protectorate over the republic of Dominica, is a mearure which deeply concerns the government and people of the United States, and one which might, if consummated, ultimately affect, in a very serious manner, our commercial and politisal relations with | the rest of thie continent. It is, therefore, a matter ef much importance to this repablic that the mo- tives and sentiments which influence the Freoch government, in the steps which it has takon, be tho- roughly understood and rightly appreciated. With the derign of elucidating the whole of this scheme, we place before our reedere, this morning. a reprint of a correspondence publisbed in the Heraxp in April laet, showing the intrigues whieh were then on foot in St. Domingo, for the establishment of the Freach power in the island of Hay+i, and anti- | cipating the first move which would be taken for that object, namely, that which we have now seen adopted—the possession of the peninsula of Samana This correspondence will be found extrewely impor tant, giving, as it does, a clear exposé of the ssheme | on foot, and interes:ing, from the fact of its verifi eation by the movement whish we learn has already | been commenced. | In addition to this letter, we also prosent this morrirg the translation of an editorial article on | the same subject, from Le Phare, a French jour. | nal, in this city, in which the whole history of the | French protectorate of Dominica is given with mach | olearn: and from which we are enabled to form a | pretty accurate conception of the design eutertained | by France in this movement. And, that our rsad- ers may be acquainted with the Spanish view of the question, we give avextract from ths Cronica, of | New York, which, indicates the real so fon of the aff timation that France, | Eog)azd and fpain are to forin a poworful comb! Bation on this con'inent against at it * thelr esmmon ene e republic of the United Statos The ro} tion nf tt e2 will serve to ciate the etep token by h governm nt | gens do not amount te quite one million. Well, it matters | | move- ment in Soncra—one ‘of the States of the republic of Mexico. It would teem, from all the circametances is these romewhet strange movements, that there does ex- ist a concordance of sentinvent between France, England and Spain, that the expansion of the re- pudlican sentiment over this continent aud its | Selands should be arrested. We mey #09, perhaps, in thie movement on Hayti, the fulilment of that merace indulged in a few months since by the Lon- don Times, that Louis Napoleon would interrene to | prevent the annexation of the island of Cubs to the United States. The great powers of Karepe sxe | with alarm the vastly imereasing strength of this mighty republic, and would vainly form a coalition to restrain its giant growth; but we can desp'se and laugh at the insane attempt to put boends to our greatness. Popular sentiment in this country will not tolerate European intervention in Amorican af- fairs, and we indulge in the hope that the incoming administration will be a faithful executor of this sentiment. Thero is no doubt but that Presideat Pieros will find = magnificent field open to him for the manisfestation of the democratic and progres sive principles on which he has been elevated tothe presidency of these United States. Bo be it! ‘The Nauvity of our Population, Ore of the best proofs of the interesting cha- racter of the Census report, which we published exclusively on Tuesday, is the liberal uee made of it next day by our contemporaries, who had not the decency to acknowledge the source whence they de- rived what the people so highly praise. No: the least interesting portion of that able and important docu- ment, is the account it gives of the nativity of the | population of these United States, which effectually | rebukes two classes of men who were equally wrong, and both in the extremes—the one consisting of got achore on the Mud Flats, about one mile below | those who vaunted that se large a proportion of | the population was of foreign birth, particularly of their own race; and the other who raised an outory, that the native population were being swamped, and the country injured by an inundation of Euro- pean emigrants of averting that there were three millions of Irich the census prove that there are not two aud a quar- ter millions of all nations, and that Irish born citi- It is, bowever, very certain that the Irish constitute by far the largest element in the foreign popu- lation, being forty-three per cent of the whole, while Germany sends twenty-five per cent, and Lngland but twelve per cent; and estimating the children and grandchildren of Irish parents in the eame proportion as the per centage of the im- migrants, we come to the conclusion that the Celtic element constitutes a very considerable ingredient in the whole of the American pooulation. There is another conclusion, too, at which we arrive, and that is : that there need be'no alarm about excessive emigration either of the Irish or Germans, or cf auy other vation. The population of foreign birth form but eleven per cent, or one ninth of the whole Inhabi- | tants. The one-ninth, therefore, is 80 absorbed by the other eight-ninths that it is rapidly assimilated One lecturer even went the length | and lost in the prevailing American element, co | as ultimately to become as much American as tho Awericans themselves. Instead of the foreign elo- ment moulding the native, it is moulded by the na- tive, and soon becomes “racy of the goil ” This is particularly the case with regard to the Irish and Germans, who become good republicans, and adapt themecly>s to the institutions of the country more rapidly than any other race. It is only in the large cities, and in particular locslities, that the influence of @ particular foreign nationality is felt; but even in these it is continually counteracted and neutral- ized by the prevailing native population, which in- creases in a more rapid ratio than the foreign The greatest proportion of foreign p»pulationisto be | found in the Northern and Western Statee—the larges of.the three largest elements in the several States of the Union :— States § Born Born Born Total Terr popula ion S5,881 160,909 oH 37 Gr1sot 58,364 Virginia... N.Carolina 8. Carolina Georgia... Florid Al Arkansas, Tenneesee. Kentucky, Missouri, Tow Wisconsin. From the foregoing table it will be seen that the two greatest races of: et this moment the foremost, both in ttrength and in intelligence, on the the globe. Europeans who have never been fartherthan our Eastern seaboard, cannot form any correvt idea of the superiority of our agricultural population in the interior of the country, and partionlarly ix the West. The average of Americans, teke thom all ia all, are the “highest style of man,” and mark tho most advanced stage of tho progressive improvement of the human race. In all ages of tho world it is the vigcrous and the enterprising—the men superior in bodily and mental strength—who have migrated to better their condition, or been driven out by the persecution of tuperior numbers The original stock who settled this country were of that descrip- tion, and were themeclves tho offepring of a mixed race The emigrants who have followed their ox- ample ever since partake, for the most part, of tho eame character, so that the whole of the Ame rican population consists either of emigrants or the deecendants of emigrants, the only aboriginal inhabitants being the Todi: But whatever be the race of the foreigners who visit our shores, the more that come the more rapidly will the greatness and glory of the country be ovolved—population and labor being the wealth of nations, No matter what the numbers may be, they will be all absorbed, assimilated, Americanized, and become bone of our bene, flesh of our flesh, avd blood of our blood, just as wholesome food of all kinds, and from what- ever point of the compass it is brought, when taken into the human body, losesits original properties, and becomes incorporated with the system, giving it sus- tenance and strength. In this way, the foreign popu- lation, while ameliorating its own ocndition, confers a benefit upon the country of its adoption; and the | fasion of races, like the famous ‘ Corinthian brass,” produces a finer and a better metal than any of the simple elements of which it is composed. umd Celtio—the INTOLERANCE AbD Reticious Fayaricisa.—If the Americans in the present age enjoy, more than any other people on the face of the earth, all the advantages which liberal institutions bestow upon a community, it must be also confessed that, in some | regions of the country, at all evente, they exhibit a degree of bigotry, intolerance and fapaticism which would b8 more in keeping with the character of the Puritans of the Cromwellian epoch than that of the enlightened ege in which we live But popular fanaticism springs direct from and ovwes its paternity to priestly bigotry and intoleranos, and to escapo from the blight of the one, it is necessary eprings It is not within the ecope or intention of this arti- cle to enumerate all the various phases in which popular fanaticism and ecclesiastical intolerance ex. | come yesterday ‘ firet to attack and eradicate that from which it , | when he dces come. hibit themeelves. Now, we see these sentiments com- | bined and embodied in a furatical attempt to coerce sumptuary legislation and to assume dictatoriai Dower over men's appetites and tastos, in the agita- tion for the passage of the Maine liquor law. Again, wo sce them combired with superstition in the croa- tion of a set of crazy spirit- knockers, who, io theirir- reverent and blasphemous ravings, offend the religi- ous feeling and disgust the common sense of mankind. Then we see them exemplified in a less contemptible, though equally ridiculous phase, as in the case of the blue nose population of Hartford. These saintly | men have, it seems, so mean an appreciation of the virtue of their select- community, that they dread | , the effect which the establishment of a dramatic institution in their city would have upon it. Fragile, weak, and easily corrupted, must be the religious aud moral sentiment which could rot withstand the temptation of the evil one in the guise of Julia Bennett, Charlotte Cushman, or Ed win Forrest, and using the classic language of William Shakespeare, Sheridan Knowles, or Lytton | Bulwer. Alas! for the descendants of the Pilgrim mount of all in the three great S:ates of the | Union, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The | \ flowing table will exbibit the proportion of each Fathers, who have less self-dependence and more fenaticisem than their progenitors of 1795, who not | only tolerated « theatre in the ‘Charter Oak City,” but denominated it a sshool of morality ! We canuot but cless this denunciation of the diamwa, by the good people of Hartford, in the same category as the equally bigoted and absurd oppoai- tion of the Cathclic clergy to the public schools, 2s they are constituted—the most benilcent institu- tions that this ceuniry has to be proud of. The | great men of antiquity, before whose majestic intel 702 19,958,574 | lect the understanding of modern men is puny and dwarfich, were wont to consider the stage as the beet school for youth and maturity ; and the gene- rous and liberal epirited men of this country cele brated their age and naiion by the grandest edjuca- tional scheme that was ever dreamt of; and yet, both these institutions, ancient and modern, have met with opporition and denunciation from the despica- ble intolerance of esclesiastics and laymen. What a commentary on the religious sentiment of our day ! Wo are led into these remarks by a circumstance which some time since came to our’ knowledge, | and which illustrates in the strongest manner the tendency, extent, and operation of that spirit of bigotry which meets the reprobation and contempt | of a people confessedly the most onlightened and | to the bar of public epicion for its ver: Trich pepulation prevail in the following States— ; New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, | | Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ilinois, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Michigan.

Tho United States need not be ashamed of the largest item in the onnual acces- sion to its population, though, from oppression at home, it comes here the poorest.

We will make a plain, un- varnished statement of this matter, and submit it Some four years siace, a celebrated and estimable member of the theatrical profession, admired in public and revered in private life, died in this city, and was interred in St. Mark's cemetery, an Episco- pal burial place..

GENERAL PIERCE AND THE PHILADELPHIA DeMo- crats.—It appears, according to the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, that at a meeting of the Democratis Executive Committce of the city and county of Phi- Indelphia, held on Wednesday, John Miller, Esq., chairman of the Executive Committee, read the fol- Jowing letter from General Pierce, in relation to his visit to this city :— Coxconn, N. H, Nov, 20,1852, Dean Sim— Your note, with a copy of the resolu. tions of the Democratic Executive Committee of the ci'y and county of Philadelphia, November 10th, I am grateful for kinduess mani- fested by my fellow citizens in Pennsylvania and else where. but so fer aa my persenal wishes and inclinations are ccncerned. it would gratify me exceedingly to go to Washington in the most quiet way possible. Indeed I neoted with dutier and responsibilities before me. Having aid thus much. I must leave wl is fitting, proper, and desirable to the taste and judgthent of my friends. There it no probability.that I shail be in Phila- deiphia before the first of February, and it is quite pos- sible my journey.may be delayed till near the clovw of that month. I beg to present to the Executive Commit- tee of the city and county of Philadelphia, and through them to the sterling democracy represented by that or. ganization my grateful acknowledgments, Your friend and obedient servant. FRANK. PI@RCE. Jchn Miller, Eeq. Philadelphia, Pa,, Chatrman of the atari Committee of the city and county of Phila- delphia, The letter isin good taste: it goes directly to the purpore. No doubt, it would be the safest policy for Gen. Pierce to remain as quietly as possible at Concord till within striking distance of the fourth of March. After the reading of the letter, the Philadelphia Committee ordered the appointment of | a committee to make arrangements for bisreception | We presume that simil rangements will be entered into in the other cities | on the route from Concord tothe White House. | There is no chance of escape from the sovereign people or the office seekers now. in his journey southward, unless the General should resolve to go by sea to Norfolk, and then slip up the Potomac to Washingtcn The botter way, however, is to face the music, and he will be very apt to doit; butdo let him have some little time to reflect upon his cabinet. Oh, do! Pu.crias To Concorp.—- We publish to-day, from our regular Concord correspendent, a list of the ar- vals there, (from the outside of New Hampshire.) | from the 13th of November to the frat week of December, inclusive. It will be seen that there has | democratic politicians amovg these travellers up and down the Merrimack Most of them are rathor newish names in tho political calendar, and many of them, no doubt, have been to Concord upon businees or pleasure, entirely disconnected from the poils. To those who know the ropes, however, there will appear here and there in the catalogue or some collectorship, or foreign mission, or consulate, or, perchance, some petty clerkship at Washington. Upon the whole, Gencral Pierce has not been very hard prerred. Indeed, considering the hungriness of the victorious democracy, it is rather to their credit that they have forborne so remarkably to pereecute and importune the Presi- dent elect. And we think we may admonish them that it will be well if they defer their applications for the “loaves and fishes” till General Pierce shall have been fairly instatled in the White House. We think so. Cotuision ON THE Eri# RAILROAD, AND THE Comrany’s TELEGRAPH —A great deal has been said in regard to the Erie Railroad Company refas- ing the ure of their telegraph to transmit accounts of sccidents on their road to the different cities with which it connects; and, at the same time, they com- plain that exaggerated statements aro sont by the other telegraph lines of every mishap that occurs on the Erie track We should think that, to avoid such exaggerations, the company would more readi- Jy lerd their aid in tranem'tting true accounts of accidents on their line, by which they would avoid | often very just caurey of complaint, and atthe same | time render the public a service. Bat it seems, by | the following account of a late collision, which wo take from the Rochester Advertiser of Deo 10, they even go further than what has heretofore been | eharged upon them, and devy the unfortunate indi viduals, who have been injurod through the negli- lege of communicating to their families and friends, to acquaint them of their misfortune:— A collision occurred om the New York and Erie Rail- road. on Saturday evening about six o'clock. a few milos west of Owego, between the passenger train bound west, ard scme cars dietributing iron for the track.
