It again becomes our disagreeable duty to record another of those awful catastrophes which have of late been so frequent as to cause a majority of travel- Jers to be in a continual state of apprehension for the safety of their lives. Between two and three o’cloek yesterday morning the steamer Empire, bound from Albany to this city, came in collision with a sloop, about six miles above Poughkeepsie. The boilers of the EB. exploded, and, so far as we have been able to ascertain, six or eight persons were instantly killed, and some twelve more were edly wounded. We understand that the boat was with passengers. Had the catastrophe -ced at any other time than when most 4 those on board were asleep no doubt the Joss of life would have exceeded that produced by any similar disaster on the same river for @ number of years. Within the last year or so the Northern section of country has be- come notorious for the frequency of horrible cala- mities. Instead of pointing to the Mississippi and other Southern and Western rivers, where formerly lives were sacrificed by wholesale, people now point to the North, and shudder at what may be the fate of themselves or their friends whenever they veu- ture upon our railroads and steamboats. See the detailed account of the accident to the Empire in another column. President Pierce and suite left our city yesterday morning, and reached Washington about ten o’clock in the evening. We elsewhere give a full report of the many curious scenes and incidents which oc- curred on the President's route, from the time of his vacating the Astor House until be left Philadelphia in a special train for Baltimore. By reference to the proceedings in the State Senate, it will be seen that Mr. Beekman strenuously oppored the Niagara Ship Canal bill on Friday eve- ning, notwithstanding which the measure passed by a vote of seventeen to four. Yesterday Mr. Cooley made a personal explanation concerning newspaper attacks with regard to the defeat of the Ten Hour bill, after which the consideration of the Supply bill was resumed. Some material alterations were made, ahd towards the close, the bill, as amended, was agreed to. The Assembly spent the forenoon in passing bills, several of which relate to matters in this vicinity. The third reading of the Central Park bill was postponed at the request of Mr. Noble, who wished to have the boundary of said park properly laid down, it being imperfect in the bill before the House. In the afternoon there was some talk re- lative to once more selecting a day for adjournment, but nothing was decided upon. A despatch from Washington states that the Gard- ner trial will probably be again postponed indefi- nitely, owing to the fact that the Commissioners sent to Mexico to inquire about his mines have not been heard from since they left Tampico for Laguinillas. They were to have been back by the 15th inst. The steamship Black Warrior arrived yesterday with advices from Havana to the 12th inst., five days later. The notorious slaver, Lady Suffclk, is reported to have been captured on the south side of the island by a British man-of-war. Three American sailors are imprisoned in the Moro ona charge of being concerned in the slave trade. They allege that they shipped from this port in the bark Jasper, which recently landed a cargo of negroes in Cuba, without knowing her destination, and that upon Jearning the nature of the voyage they desired to leave the vessel, but were compelled to remain by the balance of the crew, consisting of Spaniards and Portuguese. Forty or fifty persons were either killed or dangerously wounded by the fall of a portion of the seats occupied by the spectators at the Havana Face course on the 10th inst. Oor files of the Georgetown (British Guiana) Ga- zette to the 23d ult., reached us yesterday by the Lady of the Lake. They do not, however, contain a single word of news of any importance to the Ameri- can reader. The German residents of Cincinnati held an indig- nation meeting on Thursday last, for the purpose of expressing their views with regard to the conda:’ of Dr. Junghaus, whom they suspect of being a spy of the King of Wurtemberg. The Doctor, who sub- sequently fled the city, was burnt in efligy. Three more large tobacco factories were destroyed by fire at Richmond, Va., last Friday. A large quantity of tobacco was consumed. The loss is es- timated at forty thousand dollars, most of which is covered by insurance. The mortalit ty, during the past week, was greater than we have known it before this summer. The number of deaths as stated in the City Inspector's report, was 564, which is an increase of 26 on the previous week. Of these, forty-five were caused by consumption ; 84 by cholera infantum; 53 by con- vulsions ; 41 by diarrhoea ; 36 by dysentery ; 14 by debility ; 28 by marasmus ; and 16 by inflammation of the bowels. There were also 26 cases of stillborn. As usual, our columns to day contain a great va- riety of interesting matter, to which we have no room to refer particularly. The attention of the reader is, however, directed to the large amount of religious intelligence, the sentence of the brothers John 8. and Isaac Austin for rioting at Tammany Hall, &c, Fam Pray.—Our Commissioner in China, Humphrey Marshall. recently attempted, in the steamer Suequehanna, to run up the great river Yang-tse-keang, to help the imperialists of the Manchoo dynasty ; but he ran aground. Now. if we are not mistaken, Mr. Robert J. Walker will be very apt, on arriving in China, to take a trip up the same river in behalf of the repub- lican rebels of the Ming dynasty ; and we think it ought to be done, to place us upon equal ground with both parties. If Marshall has co-operated with the old fogy Tartars, Walker should help the Chinese red republicans. Let us be im partial in our intervention, if we must inter- vene, and help both sides until we can ascer- tain which is the strongest. Then we may strike to some purpose among the Chinese. Mr. Caamrtin’s Resovvtioys—No Go.—The Washington Union affects to be satisfied with Mr. Champlin’s mealy-mouthed resolutions, adopted in our State Assembly a few days ago; but we are afraid they will not do. The softs must come up to Taylor’s flat-footed specifica- tion on the fugitive slave law or prepare for a strike. Read the report of the Democratic Re- publican State Committee, published in yester- day's Hexarp. The reunion of the democracy has not been effected by Mr. Champlin. Such patching will notdo. Try again, Try Taylor’s test in the Senate. Beaute. Sicnt.—The meeting between Archbishop Hughes and Archbishop Wain- wright—Catholie and Episcopalian—on the offi- cial platform, under the eye of the President, at the inauguration of the Orystal Palace, on TLursday last. Beautiful! The President’s Late Official Visit—Secreta- ries Guthrie, Davis and Cushing. The President came—the President has gone —long live the President! He has had a | good time of it, although he has been led upon | a wild goose chase day and night since last | Monday qoorning. He has passed through the terrible ordeal of the office-seeker’s carnival apparently unhurt. He looks better than he did on the 4th of March, | and none the worse for wear on the day of his departure than on the day of his arrival. Loag processions in the rain, and in the sun, and in ; the dust—immense crowds in Crystal Palace, on board steamboats, in railroad cars and rail- way stations, at dinners and suppers, and oper- as, and serenades—the incessant pulling and gn people. and the devo- hauling of the soverei ted attentions ef over-oflicious political friends, appear neither to ruffle his temper nor to weak- en the elasticity of his mind or body. He has proved himself a good holiday speaker, a digni- fied chief magistate in fatigue dress, and a genial and agreeable fellow-citizen. And as for New York, we are satisfled that General Pierce, and the members of the cabinet accompanying him, have not left it without an enlarged idea of this great | bustling settling house of our American conti- | nent. In this light, their visit, we may | venture to believe, will be ugeful to them in | the enlightened discharge of their official duties, and advantageous to New York and the country at large, from the evidences whieh they have seen for themselves of the magnitude of our | commercial operations, and of the common com- | mercial interests which bind us to all parts of | this glorious Union, and which bind all parts of | the Union to each other and to the general ag- | gregation of the States. That’s good! Then, again, their visit has legitimatized the Crystal Palace. and made it a national concern—and that’s good. And last, though not least, several | millions. we venture to say, of the people, be- tween Washington and New York, have been given an opportunity to see the President and | his accompanying secretaries—and that’s good. There is nothing lost to an administration from occasional familiar reunion with the people. The people are the sovereigns, and are naturally desirous of knowing who their public servants are—and that’s the best of all. Again, the thousands who have seen andheard Messrs. Guthrie, Davis, and Cushing. from | Washington to Gotham and back, will doubtless be satisfied that they are good Union men. and good State Rights men, and decided believers | in the Baltimore platform. Jefferson Davis has been painted in the glaring colors of the most flaming fire-eater—a perfeet salamander of a secessionist, living on live coals, and bent upon disunion, blood and carnage, at all hazards, and to the last extremity. His appearance and manners, on the contrary. are those of a bland and amiable gentleman, and his speeches upon this trip have been about as strong for the Unien as anything that could have been said by Goy. Dickinson himself. Gen. Cushing, too, has shown himself a man of mark—the scholar. the orator and the statesman; and his speech at Wilmington establishes the fact that this New Englander is as good a champion of State righis as the most exacting Virginia expounder of the resolutions of 08 and 99. So mach for Jobn Tyler. Secretary Guthrie is, perhaps, the plainest. Kentucky farmer-looking man, that was ever at the head of the Treasury Department. He looks as if he had lived in the Western kackwoods all his life, and had just come over the Alle- | ghanies to see something of the wonders of | civilization on the seaboard. He might | pass for Davy Crockett redivivus. His lit- tle eye, his strongly-marked agricultural | countenance, his muscular, raw-boned, Hercu- lian figure, his heavy ungainly gait and drowsy somnolescent style of conversation, would hardly warrant the presumption that he is one of the most distinguished lawyers of Kentucky. where law is the general study of | ambitious young men and the readiest passport to political preferment. But he isa singed cat. He speaks familiarly upon subjects of which one might think he had never heard, and here, in New York was not a whit more disconcerted by the splendid things around him than a Ca- manche Indian. Not a whit. Upon the whole, while the visit of the Presi- dent and his secretaries was a god-send to New York and the Crystal Paiace, in these dull times of protracted peace. we are rather inclined to think that the impression left behind them will be good for the administration and for the country; and we do sincerely trust and pray that it may turn out to be good for the distracted Demo- cratic party. “ Thus wags the world away.” Tenvanterec—Tnk Stoo Proceepincs.—It seems Mr. Sloo is in a complication of difficul- ties. none of them very favorable to the success of his enterprise. Not long since he published a circular to the public, setting forth the pros perous condition of his affairs, and adding to ihe document a draft of the charter of the com- pany under the Mexican grant. He also allu- ded to the treaty made upon the basis of the grant, negotiated by Judge Conklin, which is now in Washington, and which he assured the public he had the highest authority for stating was favorably received by the President, and would be submitted to the Senate as soon as that body met. Scarcely, however, had he pub lished his circular, when the following notice from his associates in the undertaking appeared in the New Orleans papers :— Noricr.—I regret to inform the public that the charter of the Tehuantepec Company, to which Mr, Sloo affixed my signature without previously submit. ting it to my inspection, contaivs, in my opinion, several provisions opposed to the grant of the Mexi can governme: nd that I therefore deem it my duty to withhold my concurrence with the provisions contained in said instrument. R. Ovarre, For bimeelf, and as attorney of M. Payno and J. J. Pesado. This proves what has been already, on seve- ral occasions, stated by us, that the “ grant” to Mr. Sloo was on its face not the liberal do- cument its friends represent, but, on the contrary, a paper framed with a view of de- priving the people of the United States of those advantages which they possess under the Garay grant. and of complicating the question be- tween the two governments, The statement made by Mr. Sloo, that th President viewed the treaty negotiated by Judge Conklin with favor, somewhat surprised us, as it contains, we have reliable information for stating, precisely the same principle as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty upon the Central Ame: jean question, and which wae last session re- pudiated by every democratic member of the United States Senate, as inconsistent with American policy and striking at the very foundation of the Monroe doctrine A day or two since the Washington Union EEE | entertainment to Thursday evening next. ment as to the favorable feeling of the Presi- dent, pronouncing it wholly unauthorized. As if to complete the chapter of misfortunes, Mr. Falconette, (the agent of the British bond- holders in Mexico ) who loaned Mr. Sloo money in order to pay the Mexican government certain instalments due on the “ grant,” has commenced an action for its recovery. on the ground that the time when Mr. Sloo promised to return it is past, and yet no money is forthcoming. We wish Mr. Sloo a speedy release from his difficulties, but see little prospect of his road being built under present circumstances, Cuarine,—The fine shower which drenched the President on Thursday last and the copious rains of yesterday. The streets—or the Street Commissioner, at least—ought to be thankiul for all these blessings. Tne Swrres ww Lee Smith, of Virginia, recently returned from Cali- fornia just in time to be elected to Congress. All the world will recognize him as ‘‘ Extra Billy.” His son, J. C. Smith, has just been ap- pointed Consul to Lima. The Smiths are in luck. Smith is a great name in Virginia. John was among the “ first families.” Is Mr. Becwanay Goie v0 Lanp?—The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday gives the fol- lowing paragraph, confirming the report that Mr. B. is going to St. James:— Mr. Buchanan goes to England, notwithstanding the rumors of his declination of the mission. Presi- | dent Pierce, it is said, after an interview with him, in Philadelphia, obtained Mr. B.’s acceptance of the important trust. An amusing incident occurred at the starting of the train from Camden, on Wednes- day, with General Pierce and his cabinet officers. Mr. Buchanan was present, taking leave of the President, when the admonitory whistle of the loco- motive announced that all was ready for start’ng. Still Mr. B. lingered, baving a few more * last words” to communicate to the President, and cor- dia!ly shaking his hand, bidding him, repeatedly, * good The reluctance to leave, combined with the reported doubt of his acceptance of the mission, chimed so well, that one of the cabinet officers, in his hurry, jocosely cried out, “ Well, Mr. Buchanan, if you intend to go, why don’t you go.” The effect was irresistible, the accepting minister made up bis mind and left immediately, amid a burst of merriment, in which he heartily joined. Tue Crmsse Company Concert Posteoxgp.—The great concert and other entertsinments organized by. and with the concurrence of our most celebrated artistes, for the benefit of the poor destitute Chinese company now ia New York, and which was to bave taken place last evening, hax been unavoidably postponed for a few days. There Were various reaccns for coming to this resolution evea at the late hour at whish it was determixed on. Satur- day is the worst evening which could have been fixed oa for the purpose, the weather at midday was lowering, and Madame Thillon wouldhave been prevented by indisposi- tion from tsking part in the alfair, All these difticulties will, it is hoped, be obviated by the postponement of the It isa matter of the utmost consequence to the unfortunate Celestials, that there should not be the slightest drawback or hin- Grance to the most complete success of the benefit. As far as our yreatest musical and other celebrities can ensure against the pcp ibiity of failare by nobly‘voluu- teering their services, they have done so. Max Marelzek bas g-nereusly eontribuied the ave of Castle Garden; Mr. Marshall, of the Broadway theatre, bas undertaken the direction of the whole ; and Soutag, Steflauone, Thil jon, Marder, Badiali, Leach, and the two Gervuan musical socivties known asthe New York Leiderkranz, and the Social Reform Gesarg Verein, will contribute their gra- tuitous vervices to add éclat to the affair, The unique and extravegact peiforemances of the Chinese themselves, will not be the least interesting feature in the entertain- ments. Itis tobe hoped thet this po. tposement wik benefit, rather tha injure the caase whieh it is iatended to promete. A Powr or Naval Enqverra—Our reporter, in des- eribing the reception of President Pieree en Thursday reoraing, on board the Josephine, at Jersey city dis. played a litle ignorance of the strict rules of nautical etiquette as well as anerror in point of fact, when he stated that the American flag floated above that of Eng: Jand on the masts of the Cunard steamer Arabia. This ‘was not £0; Bor, as we are informed, could tt be accord. ing to the rules of etiquette established in the navy. The American flag, on the occasion referred to, floated from the mizen of the Arabia, and the English ensign from another mast. We are requested to make the cor- rection of this trivial error in our report, and we do s9 with pleasure. Arrival of the steamship Black Warrior. The steamship Bisck Warrior, R W.

M.—four days and three hours from Havana, A lamentable accident cccurred at Havana on the 10th inst. A borse race was to come off on the Military Parade Ground, just outside the city walls; for the accommodation of the spectators, temporary seats were erected, some of them twenty fect high. Just as the Captain Genaral en- tered and the sports were about to commence, a portion of the seats gave way, precipitating some five handred yperscns below—about forty or fifty were either killed er wourded, cewprising all ages and sexes. The actual lozs of li’e had not been fully ascertained Three Am jlors belonging to the bark Jaspar which vessel recemtly landed a cargo of slaves oa the island of Cuba bave been imprivoned in the Moro. They say they shipped in New York, and when the nature of the trade the vessel was to be engaged in, was mide known to them, after leaving New York, they ea- deavored to get away from her, bat were prevented by the other port of the crew, coaisting of Spaniards and Portuguere, who threateced to take their lives, and they were thus compelled to make the voyage. ‘The ship Lady Suffolk was before repor'ed as having,a!ter Janding @ cargo of slaves, been scuttled aad sunk, This it now appears, was not the case, ay she weat to oac of the +mell ports on the south side of the island, where she was taken poseeseion of by the British man of.war brig Daring.

A REMARKABLE CASE OF LARCENY—ARREST OF THE ACCUSED PARTY—RECOVERY OF ALL THE PRO- PERTY. On the 5thof July a large pocketbook, contzining notes of hand, railroad bonds, certificates of stock, and other valuable papers, amounting in all to upwards of $30,000, was +tolen from the desk of Messrs.
