Single copies, in wrappers, aixpeue:. The News. ‘The mails of the Hermann, from Bremen aod Heuthampton, were delivered in this city at an early hour yesterday morving. We had a short time pre- viously received our European files and papers, which were brough* by the Europa to Boston. Our London and Liverpool dates are consequently down to the 20:b ultimo. In addition to the telegraphic intelli- ence already published, we today give extended, ‘mteresting and important details of the news. The seport of the English Parliamentary committee upon ‘the violation of the slave trade treaties by the Spa- wish and Cuban government and officers, should be yead with attention. The clauses from number nine- teen contain specific and distinct accusations against the authorities, both at Madrid and Havana, which eompletely endorse all the statements hitherto made am the Herratp relative to the profits which the @Waptaine General and other high personages derive from the traffic. From Madrid we learn that the Chevalier Buona- ventura, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- ‘tentiary frum the Mexican Republic, had been pre- sented to Queen Isabella. We give a report of the wpeech of his Excellency, and likewise the reply of her Majesty upon the occasion. The main point in the address ef the Minister—and seemingly the moat important—was to assure the Queen how highly ho- moned the President General, Santa Anna, felt at re- eeivirg the royal decoration of the order of Charles ‘the Third. This pleased her Majesty, who assured the Envoy of her favor and protection. Now that Santa Anna is on such pleasing and in- imate terms with the monarch, perhaps he would dmstruet the Chevalier to ask fora little informatien concerning the Lady Suffolk affair. ‘The official documents from the Turkish Minie- ters apon the Eastern difficulty are interesting. - withstanding the debate in the Evglish Parliamext, very many politicians were doubtful of a peaceful selution of the affair. Onor Australian and Chinese advices are very com- prehensive, the position of affairs in each quarter being very clearly and concisely summed up. The last newspaper report of our sqnadron in the Chinese waters is also given, with much miscella- neous mat! cr. From the East Indies we have received the Singa- pore Bi-Monthly Cfreular of the 30th June. The imports of gold dust had been two hundred and forty-two bunkals, and the exports amoanted to two hundred and ninsty-seven. Australian dust was freely taken at from $3050 a $30 75 per bunkal. ‘The high rate of exchange stil operated favorably Sor importations of Australian. One of our special correspondents at Washington writes that it is not probable the cabinet will do anything of particular importance for a month to eome. The different ambassadors to foreign coun- ‘tries having received their instractions, it is hoped ‘that Secretary Marcy wi'l now devote himself to the fichery question, and endeavor to satisfactorily settle ‘tthe matter as expeditiously as possible. The new democratic journal, under the chief guidance of Mr. Beverly Tucker, will make its appearance wa few days. The Union, of which Mr. Nicholson of Tennesse, is now the editor, is said to be getting mervous. No wonder. The siuecure, in the shape of Congressional and other public patronage, amount- ing to over one hundred thousand dollars per annum may be either divided or given bodily to the Union's mew rival. Col. Forney, # is again reported, is com- ing ‘o this city with the intention of assuming the contro! of a hard shell organ. For several other Stems of con:iderab'e interest, inciudi a new fea- tare with regard to the conveyance of the variou weean mails, the reader is referred to the despa from our correspaw dents. Ove hundred and ten persons who died of yellow fever, were interred tn New Orleans last Wednes day, and one hundred and three yesterday. This is a@ very great decrease in the per diem mortality, as @ompared with previous reports. We continue to hear of the prevelence of the fever on board vessels com'ng from tle South, and health officers cannot exercise too much cantion in their exertions to pre vent the epidemic from fog a foothold in the northern cities. The ship Sheffield awived ut Bo ton yesterday, with three cases of fever on board one of which had proved fatal. The tutal number of deaths caused by cholera, at Ca nberland, Md., was seventy-six. The disease js repo, "ted to huve entire ly disappeared.

J., yester- terday. We understand that among other items in the presentment against Bishop D., is the charge of paying tulawful usury for money. The-Oubans in this city commemorated the anni- versary of the execution of General Narciso Lopez, which took place in Hevana on the Iste! September, 1851. A cenotaph, appropriately decorated, was ereoted in the principal room of the Apollo Saloon, Broadway, and there a large assemblage of Cubans convened to pey honor to the memories of the martyrs. @f their country's liberty, and to listen to the elo- “quent speeches of the orators. OY these speeches, ‘end of the whole proceedings, we give a very fuk and interesting report this morning. The messenger of the Newport Bank, while on his. way to Providence on board a steamer, yesterday afternoon, waa robbed of between forty and fitty thousand dollars. Much of our space is devoted to the full and gra- phic reperts of the Whole World’s Temperance Con- ventign, and the details of the Free Demooratic Conyehtion at Syracuse; , to Sketches of Mur derers to be Executed To-day, and the usual veriety of local, political, commerdial and miscellaneous Rews—to all of which the attention of the reader is directéd, withont further multiplication of words, ‘The ree Soll State Convention—Their State Twket. We publish this morning the report of our special reporter of the Free Soil State Convention, which has just closed its la- bors at Syracuse. Our report will be found in- teresting, as shbwing that the principles of the Buffalo platform, and the partisans of Hale, Chase. and Geddings, are not quite dead yet, but that they are as full of pluck as inthecam- paign of 1848. This is ominous when we con- sider that the right wing ot the Buffalo plat- form. or rather the great central column, has gone over, “bag and baggage.” to the side of the administration. And there is something calculated to startle a little both the eld dislo~ cated parties in the following independent State ticket of the “free democracy :”"— For Secretary of State. .C. B.

Frost, Oneida These, as far as we know, are all geod free soil, anti-fugitive slave law men, without an exception ; ut whether they will receive a larger or smaller vote than was given in this State for John P. Hale for President, in Novem- ber, will depend very much upon the ticket and platform of each of the two conventions yet to be held at Syracuse. Hence it is that we are extremely puzzled what line of policy to recommend to the democrats or to the whigs If the democratic soft shells are allowed the preponderance in their convention the hard shells will be very apt to kick aut of the traces, and vice versa; and as there has been 30 much shuffling upon the compromise of 1850 it would be a waste of time to suggest another compro- mise for 1853. In fact, as a split at Syracuse appears to be inevitable, the best that we can do is to let it come, and give a wide berth to the falking rubbish. If there were eny hope of a reconciliation we should put in a strong ap- peal to Jobn Van Buren to lay himself out fall length at Syracuse to effect it. We despair, however, of any sa isfactory harmony, for the spoils are divided, and the hungry and unsatis- fied are full of the idee that “fair words butter no parsnips.” The i3th of September we fear. from ali the signs of the weather, will be a dark day for the reunited democracy; and all the darker because the “free democracy” are wait- ing and watching to cut in among them. The prospect for the whigs is somewhat het- ter, though not very definite. But if they will agree to drop their old wranglings for two months, and unite heartily upon a good popu- lar ticket, they may rise from the dust, shake themselves. and fall to and demolish the twen- ty-seven thousand majority of Gen. Pierce and sweep the State. The present “harmony” among the democracy offers a fair invitation to the whigs to do this very thing; but we fear that the abominable isms of Greeley & Company and the Maine liquor law will drive them to distraction. They will have, however, the re- sults of the democratic convention tar their instruction, amd possibly they may be turned to some advantage. But perhaps Seward & Co., do no wish for the success of the whigs at the coming election? An independent “free soil” ticket ought to suggest te both the old parties the compromise policy on the slavery question; but we are ap- prehensive that neither the whigs nor the de- mocrats have learned thas far to profit from the lossons of experience. Come weal or woe “sink or swim. live or die, survive or perish.” the free democracy are on the track. Let the democrats and whigs cut their cloth a¢- cordingly. Tun Recwirep Democracy—Wnar 1s tH13? —We published yesterday morning an adve tisement signed by L. B. Shepard and othevs, galling a meeting of the Democratic Republi- can General Committee, last evening, at Taw many Hall; and another advertisement, sigaed by Thomas J. Barr and George ©, Glazier, call- ing ® meeting of the Democratic’ Republican, General Committe, this evening at the Stayve- vant Institute. Now, what does this mean? We know weH enough that the hard shells are out-voted in, and voted out of Tammany Hall and the coal hole: but we did not know till yesterday. that the Democratig Republican General Committee was subject to the order of hoth factions. Or, what does this movement of the right wing of the democracy up town por tend? It looks very much like two sets of delegates from New Yc city to Syracuse. The great issue between the bards and softa is the same as that beiween tke lit y and the old woman: She had money, and I had none. Aud that’s the way the row begun The hards are in the condition of the boy; and we shall most certainly have a row at Sy racuse on the 13th, We understand that Capt. Rynders is going up to see fair play, witha BLUE 20'S Hee J ac 4 - Minister from Bremen, Mr. Schleiden, has proved himself on able diplomatist, eince ‘ue bas suceeeded go early with the Secretary of State, to induce him to issue a peremptory or- ‘der to the new United States Consal at Bremen, forbidding him to grant certificates to contracts of marriages to be fulfilled on arrival in the United States, while similar certificates are now granted ty Bremen authorities, although, in case of need, those contracts could not be en- forced in the United States unless verified by the United States official abroad. Thus has the United States consulate ai Bremen been de- prived, by one blow, of fully one-third of its income, for the benefit of a Bremen magistrate. ‘White Mr. Schleiden was convincing the Sec- retary of State at Washington, of the denio ralizing effects of certifying marriage contracts by the .United States Consul. at Bremen, the Bromen magistrate, Amtman Groning, at Bre- merhaven, the shipping port, was granting simi- ‘isr certificates, with this only difference—that ‘he required the contract to ‘be falfilled, on ar- rival in the United States, before a clergyman, whereas the United States consul required it to be done before any legal authority. Poverty, in Germany, is a legal bar to matri- mony; consequently, great numbers live to gether as man and wife, without any ceremony or marriage contract. Many of such emigrate to the United States—numbers to this city. The men having no bond to compel them to the sup- port of the women and children, often abandon them to the charities of this city. This becem- ing onerous, our city authorities refuse commu- tation money for all women with children, not accompanied by the husband, requiring bonds of $300 for éach woman and child. After this was known, expediteurs of emigrants in Bre- men insisted upon marriage before forwarding such. The Bremen government would not con- sent toa full marriage in that city, fearing, if the parties ever returned as paupers from the United States, that their former government would send them to Bremen to be there sup- ported, having allowed matrimony within their jurisdiction. No other mode, satisfactory to our city au- thorities, could be adopted, but to file e con- tract of marriage before the United States Con. sul at Bremen. of which the Department of State was advised as early as March, 1851. This soon became the most important item in the fees of the consulate, as will appear by the semi-annual returns regularly made by the Bremen consulate to the Department of State; but now, through this new order, it accrues to the benefit of the Bremen authorities. If suck success attends the diplomacy of Mr. Schleiden, it is to be hoped that he has no wish to amend the treaty of 1827, as it secures to United States citizens commercial privileges in Bremen which have only, under the iate Consul, Mr. King, been discussed and clearly understood. Great AGRICULTURAL AND MecaantcaL Farm AT THE SovrH.—We observe with much gratifi- cation, and beg through our columns to cai] the attention of the industrial portion of our community thereto, that an annual fair is about to be organized at Louisville, Ky., for the ex- hibition of the manufacturiag and farm produce of the State. This fair has been got up by a, committee of the principal citizens of Louis- ville, at the head of whom is Mr. G. Hancock as president. It is proposed to open the exhi- bition on Tuesday, the 11th of October, and to continue it during the remainder of that week. Premiums not exceeding $50 for any article, will be adjudged. in the following order. On the first day, for manufactures in wool, cotton silk, hemp, and flax, cabinet or carpenter work. hats, and boots and shoes. On the second day, for silver and other ware, iron castings. car- riages, agricultural implements, producta of the field, orchard. garden. dairy, and fowl yard southwestern wine, &c. On the third day. for live steck. On the fourth day, for blooded and saddle horses; and on the fifth day, fer draught horses, asses and mules. The soeiety have procured extensive grounds | for the exhibition, in the vicinity of the city, and cordially invite the co-operation of other States. They propose to connect with the fair auction sales of stock, and such other articles as may have been sent to it, soas to accommodate both buyer and seller residing at a distance. This is the first movement of the kind that has been got up in the South, and it is just such a movement as must tend most to the develope- ment of its agricultural and industrial re- sources. Louisville being easily accessible by railroad and steamboat, is peculiarly well situ- ated for th@exhibition, and we hope that this initiatory step to organize regular annual fairs of the same kind. will be liberally supported and encouraged by contributions from the North. It is a highly praiseworthy effort. and deserves the amplest encouragement that can he afforded to it. We hope, therefore, that it will succeed even beyond the expectations of its designers aud forwarders. Tue Curese Mission axp Mr. Wanker.— For some days past we have been informed that Mr. Walker bas at length given up the idea of attempting the great experiment of in- troducing free trade into China. It is said that he has concluded not to give Mr. Dob- bin any farther trouble concerning a steamer suitable for the voyage to Canton, and that so far from waiting for the repairs of the San Jacinto. Mr. Walker has resolved to throw up his commission in disgust. Further- more, the Pacific Railroad offers no small in- dueemems to a progressive mind like that of Mr. Walker, and may possibly lead to greater commercial results than any treaty which could be made with the Chinese tor a yeur or two. Therefore we think it very likely that the mis- sion to China will soon be, if it has not already been, finally and positively declincd by Mr. Walker. But shall we thereby lose the trade of the. Yang-tse-Keang, the Hoang-Ho. and Kweng-Chow-Foo! Shall the British be per- mitted to rule the roast in China, too? Let the administration look to it or we are gone. ApinieTration Of iN New Yorx.—The following list of free apers supporting the administration, (with a reservation on the fa- gitive lave law,) we take from the epecial organ of the hord shells of this city. They are the Evening Post of Now York. the Buffalo Re public, the Albany .4i/as. the Rochester Union, the Syracuse Daily Standard, the Livingston Democrat, the Highland Eagle, and the Ma- dison county Reflector, How many more there are it is not necessary to inquire, Here are enough to leaven the whole democratic party with abolitioniem, or enough to break it into two parts lor the third time and for the last. ! e Wil Le o Larmonious youaion at Dy can doubt it? | AAD hs AARC ITE PETE EE TT mm Brewen Diplomacy iN Wasarnotox—The | Miss Lucy Srovs’s Tempsrancs Conven- tion—Freer Day.—Mise Lucy Stene’s ‘ Whole ‘World’s Temperance Convention” is “a hit—a palpable hit.” She was not to be put down by that exclusive set of men last spring, who de- ci@ed that the women and the darkies should trave nothing to do with the “World’s Tempe- rance Convention” for September the 6th—not she. The result is, that she leads the way with an independent Temperance Convention. invit- ing “all the world and his wife,”—black. red, yellow, and white, to mingle together on the same platform. It will be seen, however, that the principal ingredients of Miss Lucy’s om- nium gatherum are chosen from among the mest notorious humbugs, infidels, socialists, and abolitionists of the day—of women too fast for the slow progress of the Christian dispensa- tion; and of men entirely too big for their breeches. Vide Greeley and his boots. The speeches yesterday and last night, as will be seen from our report of the proceedings of this singular Maine law movement, were all well enough in their way, and sufficiently elo- quent upon the great subjects ofcold water and women’s rights, though nothing strikingly new or important has yet been disclosed. ‘The Convention will probably proceed to practical business to-day. and great things may be expected, for H. Greeley, C. C. Sholes, Lucy Stone, C. C. Burleigh, and Dr. Harvict K. Hunt, constitute the business committee. Barnum and Lucretia Mott are among the Vice Presi- dents. For the hanor thus conferred upon Bar- num, we think that at the close of the conven- tion he ought to invite all the delegates to a treat in some one of those refectories under his museum. The old “ Terrapin Lunch,” and the “Live and Let Live,” have always a good sup- ply of liquors on hand. Now, by-the-bye, why should not “the Bearded Lady” be invited into the convention as the delegate from Switzer- land? Having taken pretty strong grounds against man’s monopoly of the whiskers, we thipk she ought to be sustained by Miss Lucy and al the. champions of woman’s rights. Our idea is that the Bearded Lady ought to be made President of this convention, or the forth- coming Woman’s Rights Convention, par ex- cellence, at-all events. If she hasn’t got the breeches she has got the beard. Let Miss Lucy Stone call the attention of Barnum to this deserving person, without delay. She is a living iMustration of that great maxim of Sam Patch, that “some things can be done as well as others.” We do trust that her claims will be entorced by Miss Lucy this very day. Let the world look sharp for the result of this day’s doings in the convention. The busi- ness committee we have named, are almost cer- tain to do something on a grand scale. Perhaps they may give us an independent Maine Liquor Law Woman’s Right Abolition State ticket, in co-operation with the committee on platforms and resolutions. The world Co¢s move, after all Old Gallileo was right. “ Take your time, Miss Lucy, And make the coffee strong.” CELEBRATION OF Mexican VicToRiEs.—We are glad to notice the spirit which has been recently manifested in this latitude, of observ- ing the anniversaries of those battles in the Mexican campaign where the character of American arms was most honcrably main- tained. The commemoration of those glorious days when the invincibility of our citizen sol- diers was proclaimed to the astonished world amid the thunders of cannon and the clash of bayonet and sabre. and in the face of a foe nu- merically ten times stronger than our own little army. is a custom which we would wish to see established and practised with as much veneration as the observance of the victories of the Revolutionary war, or that of 1822, From the following invitation which we have received at this office. we axe gratified to find that this sentiment is diffusing itself, and be- coming more generally acted on :~- Harrrorp, August 20, 1853, T@® JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ. Bir :—At a meeting of members of the assuciation the Surviving Officers and $ f the Niatk Regi ment, held at the city of H instant, the apniverssry of the 1847, it was unonimously resolved to Sold an adjournes meeting of the seme. ct sait Hertford. oa the 13th ead 14th days of Sepiomber ensuing.

Cona.: Gaorge Bowars, Jobn Glackin, Boston, Mass ; Joseph 8 Pitm denoe, 2. I. Thus not only was the anniversary of the “ first day ’ of Contreras marked by a meet- ing. in Hartford, of the survivors of the gallant “Old Ninth,” or New England regiment of United States infantry. but it is determined to solemnize also that of the battle of Chepulte- pec; and it will be seen that the officers of Pierce’s brigade generally are invited to joia in the celebration. And connected with this ob- servance is the wish to do honor to the Governor of the State of Connecticut—the gallant Sey- mour, who distinguished himself at that last brilliant victory—before he takes bis departure from the country to onter on the duties of his position as Minister to Russia. There will be on this interesting occasion, we have no doubt, a large attendanee of brave and honorable men. " y reply, 2 of said committes, is Oraantc Dircretion.—The Washington Union publishes the letter of Lord John Russell on the Cuba qnestion, with the following cautious announcement :— Dieromtic Conresponpence —We give in ano- ther column, from the Ne® Youk Hrrann of yes- terday, the note of Lord John Rassell, the Secreta for Foreign Affairs of the British government, ad- dressed to toe British Mivister in Washington, aud expressing the views of that government upon the letter in which Mr. Everett, as Secretary of State, made known the rejection by the govcrument of the United States of the proposition of she t ipartite convention guarantying Cuba to Spaia. We also copy from the Heratv a note of the British Minis- ter to the Earl of Clarendon, relative to the inter. view upon the subject betwoon Secretary Marcy and the British and French ministers. ‘The Hera.py does nét state the source from which it obtained these documenta, but itis said that they have been laid upon the table of the Bri- tith Par iawent, in response to a call of that body, and that their production was accompanied by a sneech of Lord John Rusveli npoo the subject to which they refer. We have not yetseen any British journal conteining this invelligence, and we there fore defer such comments as we may see fit t» mak e postions assamed in the Je » Foreign Secretary, in the exyecta- tion that the whole case wil soon be before as, The Union is properly cautious, considering | the fact that “ they have not yet seen any Bri- tish journal containing this intelligence.” Jn such cases it is safe to wait till “the whole case is laid before ns.” The Secretary of State will probably get Lord John’s letter, by the next steamer. Gevgnay Dix axp tHe Guonctans—The | Georgia papers appear to be very onvhiyg know what has been and is to be done for General Dix. The Savannah Georgian, under thé idea that he has been chosen for France, and ‘thet his nomination is held back from pruden- tial considerations for a time, says of it :— If be be not now, as he has heretofore been, “a conspicuous free soiler,”? why wait until after the Sout elections to announce his appointment ? Does not Pieree’s fear that his appointment would “ipjuriously affect” Southern rove Pierce knews that Dix is a free soiler? an in- famous, time-serving policy this, to be exhibited the Presideat of @ great iblic ! Would Jackson have acted thus? No, never. And yet the people of Georgia are expected to vote for Jol ’ and Seward, and Colquitt, and Dent, and Bailey, and otbers of that ilk, use they support the ministration of General Pierce. Perhaps the Washington Union can quiet our Georgia cotemporary. What has the Union tossy? Let us hear. Yaik on ’Change. ‘Venterday was aday of much activity in this market, The Buropa’s private advices having come to hand, ac- gocd many orders, chiefly for the con- tinent, th again 2 good demand for flour and wheat, Sales ofthe former were freely made, closing with an advance of six cents per barrel, State brands selling at $5 562 $562. Wheat was in active demand, beth to arrive and in market, and the aggregate sales footed up about 120,000 bushels, at full prices, Cotton sold to the extent of about 1,400 bales, the market closing easy. The stcck of sugars in this market yesterdzy, (1st inst.,) was 45,401, against 49,200 for the same period last year; of boxes, 12370, against 33,000 last year, and 22.870 bags, against 17 000 last year. The sales yester- @sy reached 800 or 900 hhds., and 10,000 bags Manila, the latter chiefly for refinizg. The stock of tobacco yesterday, was 7,048, agsinst 12,689 at the same period last year. Ahousein the Australia trade had received date- from MeJbourne down tothe 4th and 7th of June, by the Leodus, of Boston, at Valparaiso, which came from thence via Panama, and reached here in the Georgia. They contained but little, however, beyond the mere business matters of the firm. It appeared that quite a test of American vessels had arrived out, with large quantities of flour, which had not, however, depressed the market asmuch as was expected. Gallegos and Ha- hali brands were relling at 45s. per bb!. Lumber was selling at $150 per thousand, and deals at 1s. 9d. to 2s per foot. Gold was ee ling at 77s. per ounce. The letters received were second copi1s, the first baving been sent vie Eng/and, and bad thus been superseded. ‘The committee of the banks were still engaged in bring- ing about a-general arrangement between all the banks, for the establishment of a elearance office, ani were making favorable progress, though regret was expressed that the chief obstacles encountered, (though not se- rious,) bad proceeded from some of the older banks from whim better things were expected. It was stated that it was the Bank of the State of New York alone which was going to move into the circular base- ment room cf the Merchants’ Pxchange, while the Bank of Commerce had taken @ building at the corner of Broad street and Exchange place; so that the two institutions, which bad so long done business under the same roof, were about to separate.
