Most of ‘Me day was spent in debating a motion offered by Biahop Doane, praying for the meeting to be a pub- Wc one, instead of a Spanish inquisition. The motion ‘was eventually put, and lost by a majority of fifteen ®tosix. The House then, without transacting any @erther business, adjourned until to-day, when the will come up as to whether the charges em- ‘Bodied in the presentment demand a trial or not. If they are considered serious enough, the learned Dedy will adjourn, to meet in Burlington,on Mon- d@ay,qwhere Bishop Doane will undergo a trial before fhe tribunal of bishops. A report of yesterday's may be found in another column. Accounts of the ravages of the yellow fever in ‘the different Sonthern cities, are given under the pro per head elsewhere. Yesterday wasobservedin New Orleans 35 a dey of fasting and prayer, in accord- ‘ance with 2 proclamation from the Mayor. The total @entributions for the relief of the snfferers now reach Bearly forty-five thousand dollars, and by the close of next week it is probable that ten or fifteen thousand More will be added. ‘The Young Men’s Democratic Union Club met Jest night at the Mercer Honse, when a syirited eontest took place for the office of President, which has become vacant by the resignation of James T. Brady. The contending candidates were John @ochran,; barnburner, and C. Godfrey Gunther, Bunker. Afver six successive ballots the votes were im favor of CO. Godfrey Gunther, who was in conse- qmence deciared elected President. It wasa hard Gontest, and the votes of those in the Post Office and Custom House mustered pretty strong in favor of their candidate, but all to no purpose. We are again called upon to record still another Mare-up in the ranks of the interior democracy. The arnburner: and soft shells bad the majority at a meeting in the second Assembly district of Rensse- ner county yesterday, and appointed Samuel Doug- Imes as their delegate to the Syracuse Convention. The hunkers withdrew, orgenized, and appointed ‘Obas. J. Wilber as their delegate. The barnburners endorsed the national and State administrations, and ‘he hunkers ratified the Astor House resolutions. What a tremendous rampus there is likely to be when ali these representatives of the disaffected fac- féons meet and undertake 0 settle their disputes on the 13th of this month. The Jate commercial advices from Burope have had a wonderful effect upon certain articles in this market, particularly breacstuffs, as will be seen by ‘the trade report im another page. The greatest ac- ‘th ity prevails in flour, of whieh some .twenty-six fhousand barrels changed hands yesterday. The wates have rapidly advanced within the past three days; and should the news by the Atlantic, due to- Morrow, be of the same tenor as that bronght by the Fusopa and Hermann, we may expect the price ef breadstnffs to reach a figure that will astonish everybody. Owing to favorable accounts from Anstralia, freights to that country are reported to have gone ‘Bp about twelve per cent in Boston. The bark Tem. pleton, from this port, and her cargo, were sold for ‘thirty-eight thousand dollars, without breaking bulk, being an advance of twenty thonsand dollars on the ‘origina! cost. A despatch from New Orleans statee that the @rops are in a favorable condition. This fs directly the reverse of the acconnts lately received from other parts of the South. Accordiog to the antual state. ment, the total value of produce received at New Orleans during the year, was $154 000,000, inclading 965,250,000 in cotton and $45,500,900 in suzar. The amout of cotton received was 1,665,000, and the @xports 1,646,000 bales. Hon. James ©. Hall, President of the Ohio and Miesissippi Railroad Company, was shot in the wreete of Cincinnati last Thursday evening, by Dr. Ames, a retarned Californian. The wound is con- sidered dangerous. By telegraph from Cincinnati we are informed that a meeting, attended by men of al parties, wae held in that city on Thursday evening, for the pur- pose of devising measures for the impeachment of Judge Flinn, who some days ago remanded to their masters three slaves who had been landed npon the wharf against the express wishes of those having them in charge. A resolation declaring that the Judge ought to be impeached, was caanimously adopied, and a committee was appointed to bring the subject before the next Legislatore. The des patch publithed some days ago, with reyard t the @ecision in the slave case, led ue into error, by stating Vhat ove of the etatutes of Ohio provided that “slaves, when brought into the State by their mas ters, are free.” in alluding to thie matter, the Dolambas Journal says:—" We have no auch ate tute. The principle ta fundamental one, aud has been recognized a4 binding by courts ct the slave Btates. [1 ie no doubt the law of the land. Jndg Eee eT assess Finn, if we understand his point, did not ek. ie eotaiipi. Bat he said the slaves were im the State a ainst tho wish, and in opposition to the request, of the owners and persons in charge, and that, therefore, the rule did not apply. This ‘was the tarning point in the case.” Judge Humphrey yesterday decided that Governor Special attention is directed to the very fall and graptic reports we today publish of the closing scenes in the Whole World’s Temperance Conven- tion held in this city, and the Free and Easy Cou- vention at Syracuse. Comment upon ssebeaad tions of those connected with these temblages is at present unnecessary. Tf fs impart ant, hewever, that the people should be kept duly posted up with regard to their peculiar movements. Secrets of New York Whig Politioe—A Fult View Behina the Scenes, We spread before our readers this morning a series of articles from the Albany Evening Journal, (Seward’s organ,) and the Buffalo Com- mercial Advertiser, (Mr. Fillmore’s special organ,) disclosing to the public view the secret wires and wire pullers of the Philadelphia Slaughter House Convention ef 1848, and of a variety of other matters connected with New York whig politics and politicians, In perusing these reminiscences of Thurlow Weed, Dr. Foote and Mr. Parmelee, the honest and straightforward whig partisan, ignorant of the machinery back of the curtain. will be sur- prised and disgusted at the dirty tricks and miserable petty expedients by which a few in- dividuals in the whig councils at Weshington, Philadelphia and Baltimore, have directed the policy and the movements of the whole whig party of the State and of the Union. leading them blindfolded but confiding to the disas- ters, and the final demoralization, dispersion and destruction, with which the universal whig church has been blasted. The main issue in thy violent controversy between Dr. Weed and Dr. Foote is upon some paltry differences in their individual recollec- tions of certain insidé operations among the whig wire workers and pipe layers at Phila- delphia and Washington, relating to certain Presidential candidates and to certain appoint- ments to office under the whig régime of 1841. And in readirg over these diverse accounts of past transactions the exclamation of the'old women recurs: “ Who shall decide when such wise doctors disagree?’ It is of very little importance to the public whether Dr. Weed is or is not guilty of the alleged misrepresenta- tions in the premises, or whether Dr. Foote has or has not perpetrated the falsehoods in the premises charged upon him. We can get over that difficulty very readily by assuming that each has treasured up his reminiscences after his own peculiar fashion—that both tell a good deal of what is true, but that neither of them has told one-half the story of the bloody butchery of Henry Clay, beginning in 1836 and ending in 1852—a case of protracted political treachery and murder of twelve years duration. But these conflicting political confessions of wire-working partisans are important to the public to the extent to which they betray the contemptible and selfish considerations by which political jugglers are controlled, and the dirty little tricks by which the honest masses of their partisans ‘are hoodwinked and betrayed, Look at these reminiscences of our contem- poraries of Albany and Buffalo. The inference is inevitable from their own statements against each other that from their acts of treachery, duplicity and falsehood, neither of them is en- titled to public respect. But what is the key toall this? The simple fact that Millard Fill- more, as President of the United States, thonght it expedient to cut loose from such free soil abo lition associations as the Albany Journal and Master Thurlow Weed. That’sall. But what could poor Mr. Fillmore do? Had he taken the other horn of the dilemma his position would have been infinitely worse then and now than it has been—than it is. But where there ia a party split there will be party disclosures made discreditable to all concerned, as in this highly amusing and instructive controversy between Weed and Foote. We hope that the revelations hetween these organs respectively of Seward or Fillmore will go on till both sides shall have made a clean breast of all that they know, Let them do it, and do it promptly. so that the whig party, upgn a fall con- fession of all the recent dirty tricks of both factions, may cancel the record at Syracuse and open a new set of books. The historical article closing the series of our “beautiful extracts’ is about the best thing we have had for some time from Thurlow Weed. It is given with the view of correcting certain historical omissions in a late article ot the New York Heraro onthe subieet of the whig party in connection with anti-masonry. We commend the statement thus evoked from the Albany Journal to the special attention of our readers. It illustrates that trite old axiom most vividiy: that trifles, after all, control the fate of men, of partics. and of nations. Here it will be seen that the intractable humor, of Judge Thompson, called from his bed at an un- seasonable honr of the night. is the real secret of the election of Van Buren as Governor in 1828, and of the vast chain of mighty politica, events that have succeeded in the State and in the nation. Had the committee reached the Judge's house about supper time, over a bottle of wine they might have revorsed the destiny of both parties and of this great country from that day to this! Alas! Alack-a-day! What a pity, what a shame, what a sorrowful pity, what a borning shame it was that Dr. Weed and the com- mittee did not reach Judge Thompson’s house before he had gone to bed! What a romark- able Hlustration is this of the weight of the smallest accidents in determining the greatest issues to mankind for all time to come. The committee came too late. Judge Thompson was in bed. He was called up; but. in the natoral mood of a man thus disturbed, he de- clined to give up his nomination for Governor. And mark the results. The anti-masons chose an independent ticket. This diversion elected Van Buren. Thence he went onward and up- ward till he reached the Presideney; then came the great financial revulsion; then “Old Tip and Ty” and the General Benkrapt law; thea the bank vetoes; then Polk and the annexation of Texas; then the war with Mexico; then the peace, and California and the gold mines; then General Taylor, and to on. Such are the con- seqnences resulting from the nofortunate eir- camstance thet Mr. Weed’s committee were too late with Judge Thompeon—he arriving at his house after he had gone to bed. Is there any- thing in fiction so strange as this romantic in- eldent of rober political history ? But enongh. We eommend tt of our chapt pol the dirpassionate aiten xtracta to 1 of our reader { the case of Judge Thompeon fs the most ro- mantic feature of these artic’es. the various subjects of dispute between the champion of Seward and the organ of Fil'more wil! be found to be the most amusing. In polit os nothing can be understood without an occasional peep behind the scenes. Here the pipes, the ropes, and the wires, are pretty liberally disclosed to the naked eye. Behold and admire! The Chinese Mission—New Movement in the Cabinet. Though Mr. Walker has not yet sent in his ultimatum on the Chinese embassy question, it is pretty well known in official circles that the chances of his accepting the mission are now very slender. We need hardly assure our adult readers that his refusal of the post will not be grounded on the very trivial pretence set up on his behalf by a portion of the prese. Mr. Walk- er is not 8 man to insist on the formalities of punctilious etiquette; and had his private busi- ness permitted him to undertake the journey,and remain three or four years absent from the Uni- ted States, we have very little doubt that he would by this time have been somewhere be- tween Southampton and Pointe des Galles, on the overland route to China. Tuishas unforta- nately not been the case; and though in view of the opportunities now offered to men of energy and talent, we can hardly feel surprised at the course he has pursued; we commiserate the go- vernment and the nation on the loss of an offi- cer whose ability would have done us credit abroad. Among the host of able men who would rally round the administration at the call of its chief, we know of none in whose hands our commercial and political interests would rest more safely than in those of Robert J. Walker. and our regret at the prospect ofhis reserving his talents for his private benefit is the greater, as we can hardly exaggerate the magnitude and importance of the trust to be confided to our Chinese envoy. We have the best reasons for believing that a very material change in the character of the Chinese mission is in contemplation. Hitherto, the limits of the authority of our envoys to China have been, as is the case with our other foreign missions, the natural boundaries of the Chinese empire. Recent events have justiticd the opinion that this sphere was too circum- scribed. The maltreatment of Mr. Gibson by the Dutch authorities in the East, has demon- strated the necessity of some measures being taken for the protection of citizens of the United States, and American commercial interests. in that quarter of the globe. Commodore Perry’s expedition to Japan—whatever may be its im- mediate results—will obviously lead in the end to such a state of things as will imperious- ly demand the presence of a competent Ameri- can officer within reach of the Japanese Islands. As matters now stand, our representative in China has no authority to extend his protce- tion to American eitizens whose rights may be in‘ringed either in that empire, or in the Dutch settlements in Asia, or in any of the States of the Eastern Archipelago. He may prevent the infliction of injury upon Americans at the five ports; but beyond their precincts, he is as powerless as any other foreigner. It has, therefore, been” wisely suggested that instead of a mere anthoriiy to deal with the Chinese government, our ambas- sador should be invested with a general power to watch over American interests on the whole eastern coast of Asia, from Japan to Sumatra—should be accredited as well to the Emperor of Japan as to the ruling powers in China for the time being, and should be spe- cially entrusted with the supervision of our rights in the Dutch Asiatic ports. Under him, consular agents would discharge the details of duty required by our vessels; and the Pacific squadron would be placed at his command to act as emergencies might dictate. This is, as we understand it, the plan now under consideration at Washington. We need hardly say fhat it meets with our hearty appro- val. We have every reason for snpposing that the case of the unfortunate American who was so shamefully ill-used by the Dutch, was by no means an exceptional one. Protection to Ame- rican vessels and American citizens travelling in the East, is, we are convinced, as much necded on the Pacific as on the Atlantic. These, Dutchmen, Who have usurped a monopoly of trade with so many fertile islands and rich terri- tories, have trampled on American fnterests too long. It is not two centuries since they insti- gated the frightful massacre of Christians which took place in Japan. The progress of enlightenment, as much, we trust, as the lack of opportunity, has prevented a second recourse to similar means of securing the predominanee of Dutch interests. But though contemporaneous history affords no such strik- ing instances of barbarity as the disaster to which we refer, the character of Dutch policy has not materiality varied since 1600. It will stand on record as an irrefra; e testimo- ny to the narrow-minded selfishness of the Dutch, that throughout the East they labored consistently for centuries to shut out other Christian nations from a share ia the trade they carried on themeclves, and fortified barbarous governments in their ignorant policy of exclu- sion, It will be well that they share in the lesson we are about to teach their ally of Japan. In his conduct, at all events, there has been no shadow of duplicity ; while they, reeeiving our ambassador at home, and refusing to reco,nise Americans in their foreign settlements, have added treachery to illiberality. We shall be pleased to learn’ that our future representative hae been authorized to mete out equal measure, as well to them, as to all the foreign nations inhabiting the Eastern coast of the Asiatic con tinent. Two considerations give peculiar import ance to the proposed change, at this" moment, It is within the knowledge of all engaged in mercantile pursuits that our Pacific irade is on the eve of receiving a new and a pro- digions developement. We have barely skimmed the suace of the Asiatic coast. Har- bors destined at no distont day to bristle with American masts, lie yet in desvulate loneliness. Immense tracts of country producing millions of dollers worth of commodities in constant dentand among us. and teeming with buman beings, who ask for no better than to partici- pate in the fruite of our industry and our civili- zation. are a8 yet an unknown land. With California on the one side, and Austraka on the other, what may not the carrying trade to and from China become? And if a single glance at this stupendous fatnre suggests the obvious necessity of due care being taken to render that trode a safe one. the conduct of a tingle American officer on a recent memorable cecasion bas shown how greata pre may be given to the American’name by a few acts displaying nerve ond resolution. We sball not stige hear of Americans being maltreated by Austrian officers in a burry again. A few such demon- strations on the Asiatic coast would do a world of good. And. for our part, we see a mach greater probability of their occurrence, ifall our interests in that quarter of the globe are centralized and placed in the hands of one man, than if they remained as they are—divided and split up between several. Tae Mission to Fraxee—Wuo Gos Trere! —The latest report is that the miasion to France has been kindly placed at the disposal of Hon. Francis B. Cutting, and that he has partly made up his mind to go. This may be correct. The other day, from very respectable authority in- deed—Gov. Cobb of Georgia being in town at the time—we were informed that the trip to France had been offered to him, and that he would leave in the morning, post haste, for Georgia, to consult his friends there upon the supject. The impression among those here was that if there wasa good democratic prospect for the Georgia October elections, Mr. Cobb would not accept the French mission, but would remain, to be elected to the United States Senate. On the other hand. it was thought that with a slim show for the hearty re-union of the Georgia de- mocracy, Mr. Cobb would conclude that the air ot Paris will be beneficial to his health. This, also, may be correct. Then, again, we learn that Gen. Dix some days since sent on word to Washington that he was ready, at any day, to throw up the Sub Treasury and go to France, in pursuance of his appointment as Miniater to the Court of St. Cloud. This, too, may be so. But are we to have three ministers to France? or, who goes there ? Ovr OverrLowme Treasury—Waar’s To BE Done wire Tux Monry?—According to the re- port of the Treasurer of the United States, there was a snug little surplus in the treasury on the 29th of August, of upwards of twenty- seven millions, all in silver and gold, and one- third in the sub-treasury of this city, under the care of Gen. Dix. With the supplies which have since accrued there are probably at this time not legs than thirty millions of dollars in specie in the treasury, subject to draft—equal to about half the entire ind@btedne:s of the general government. And the supplies are still pour- ing in by millions, Whatis to be done with all this money? In the event of a European war—which can hardly be avoided from present appearances—these supples will be still further increased, from increased imports, arising from increased exports. But what is to be done with this money? Shall we buy Cuba. or another slice of Mexico, or build the Pacific railroad withit? Time will tell. In the interval, let Mr. Guthrie hold fast to the sub-treasury law, and keep a sharp eye upon Wall street and the speculators thereof They will drain him, if they can. Tue Koszta Document—-Wao Is TH Av- THoR °—It was telegraphically announced yes- terday that Attorney General Cushing had de- nied the authorship of the splendid article on “Allegiance and Naturalization.” published in the Herstp several days go, and that the de- nial would appear “by authority” in the Washington Union. Here it is :-— It pe! been, we perceive, attributed to the vigor ous ractised pen of the Attorney General. That ai inguished gentleman ie not author, coma the soundness of ita views, its Fe comalsiont and ee ots an ss by which ita conclusions are maintained, haye naturally enough suggested his name in connexion with it. Where is the authority for this statement? ‘What does such a denial as this amount to, at- ter the doubt thrown over the authenticity of the Lord John Russell letter, in the same paper? The Union has not yet found that Cuba letter in “any of the English journals.” Ask Secretary Marcy if it is not on file in the State Department. But this is not the ques- tion. Who is the author of the aforesaid splen- did article on American citizenship, ifit is not the Attorney General? Have we spoken without advisement ? We stick to Cushing.

Hitherto the greatest objection which existed against it was the deficiency of mesns to procure thorough ventilation. Now s1! caure fur that comoiaint is obviated, a shaft or cupola having been opened through the roof above the family circle. This aperture is fifteen feet by eleven; it ia of an octagonal ebape, and, beiag hand. sorely painted, ite very appearance is a marked improve ment to the house, Besides this measure to pro- vide ,yentilation for the theatre, there his been a large rpace cpered at the back of the parquette, and a withdrawing room, with a large French wirdow, has been formed at the back of the dress circie. The roof bas been painted and gilded in very pretty de- signe and goy colors; and the walle hove been a]-0 agp-o- priately painted, with baodscme medallions in the com- partments, dla fresco. The upbolstering has been ap. plied to every part of the houre. The seats have been all, provided with stuffed hair cushions covered in crim non yelvet, and the backsof the formsare covered with the j{reme material; The dees b xes have deen also deantifuily decoreted, and bung with great taste; the walls sre burg with crimson velvet paper, to match the upholstery, and each box fs ornamented with a basutifal oval mirror. The like cecorations, paintings, glidings, &e., bave been made in respect to the front entrance, kcbbies, box office, &c.
