Single eopies, im wrappers, szpenee, ‘Tne News. ‘i We re-publish our table of contributions for the selief of the sufferers by the epidemic in New Orleans, ‘with such additions as have come to our knowledge. Our previous tables which were made up for the Snap, have been very extensively copied by the journals in this city as well as those ata distance, and in some instances the proper credit has been given, bot in moet cases they have been apprepria ted without any acknowledgement. Of this, how- ever, ¥e do not complain, as the time has long since pasred when we ceased to be annoyed at seeing articles which first appeared in this journal, taken bodily by some of our labor-saving cotemporaries, and placed in their columns in such 4 position as to qwcate the impression on the minds of their readers Wot there they originated ; but when they are copied #*. garbled, as was the case yesterday in the Phila- deiyhia North American, and done for the a#vdent purpose of lowering the city of New ork in the estimation of our Southern fellow-citi- wos, and raising Philadelphia, we feel that we tive a right to epeak. The journal alluded to trans- ferred our table of contributions to its colamns, with no other alterations than taking fifteen thousand dollars from the amount contributed by the city of New Ycrk, and giving to Philadelphia three thousand dears more than she had actually subscribed. The edject of this is transparent, and the reasons, as given above, will be obvious, not only here, but als» in the Bouth. We have no disposition to eater into any controversy about who gives the most, or who the Yeast, to an object like that of New Orleans, and only wish to see the facts and figures correctly put down and the sum reach a half million of doliars. We feel assured that the object is a true charity, and the mon will be well spent. The following is the New Albany, Ind... $000 Natchez Miss 120 Philade}piia.

From Washington we have a confirmation of the statement made by us some weeks ago, that Hon. RJ Walker would throw up his appointment as Commissioner to China, in conseqnence of the delay in providing a vessel to convey him to that country. Onr special correspondent writes that the antici- pated resignation has been duly received, and that Mr. W. will insist upon its acceptance. We leirn from Albany that up to the present tamg revensy-two delegates have been elected to the Democratic State Convention, of whom thirty--ix are hard shells, and twenty-four are soft shells and wernbarners. Twelve seats are aontested. Oon- siderable excitement is seid to exist among the pol!- ticiens at the capital in consequence’of the prospect that bard shells will be largely in the majority in the Convention. Wait till the delegates from the re- maining fifty-six districts are heard from, and then see how the two factions stand, Under aoy circnm- mences there is bound to be a great stir at Syracuse om the 13tu inst.

The Germar Turners held their grand festival yesterday, at Harlem, which was attended by thou- sands of their compatriots. It might be aptly called “Harlem turned into Young Germany.” See the detailed account of the celebration farnished by our reporter. The September term of the Common Council commenced yesterdey. With the exception of the spirited debate upon a spicy communication from the Street Commirsioner, a sketch of which is given by our special reporter, nothing of particular inter- est transpired in the Board of Aldermen. A pe- tition was received by the Board of Assistants for permission to construct a railroad between the Battery and Fourteenth street. The same body ap- pointed a committee to investigate the conduct of Comptroller Flagg for refusing to comply with what he probably considers their illegal demands upen the funds in the city treasury. A complete resumé of the general proceedings in both Boards may be found in the official reports elsewhere. The annual report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department was presented to the Common Council last evening. It is a most extraordinary document, and will be apt to create a sensation in certain quarters. Read it. The judges opened term in several of the higher law courts yesterday morning. The jury panel were calied over, and the gentlemen answering were sworn. Some were fined for non-attendance. The day calendars, &e., are given elsewhere. The Board of iGupersiaars met yesterday afternoon, and, after reading a communication from his Honor the Mayor relative to the money sffairs of the Public School Scctety, increasing a ‘ew public salaries, and attending to a little routine business, adjourned. We elsewhere publish a lengthy but exceedingly interesting narrative of the progress made by the surveying party under Governor Stevens. The ac- count consists chiefly of general descriptions of the country, interviews with different Indian tribes, en- counters with immense droves of buffalo, some herds numbering at least two hundred thonsand head, &c. No remark is made as to the fitness of the country for a reilroad track, but the St. Louis Republican, from which we copy the narrative, has private informa- tion that the route travelled will not answer. The World's Temperance Convention To- Day, and the Woman’s Rights Convention, Lucy Stone and her temperance allies— Greeley and his bran-bread. disciples, strong- minded women and weak-headed men—Garri- son and his rampant abolitionists, Greeley, Miss Lucy, and company, and the whole vegetarian and woman’s rights tribe inclusive, in their va- rious meetings last week, gave us a very con- siderable insight into the mysteries of vegeta- ble and cold water socialism. But the results of all their labors may be summed up in three words--gas, twaddle, nonsense. They nomi- nated neither a cold water, nor a woman’s rights, nor yet a vegetable ticket for the No- vember election. They spoke much—they re- commended many things; but they did no- thing. But this week « more formidable, because a more respectable. more extensive, more talent- ed, and more regularly organized onslaught is to be made upon John Barleycorn and his allies, in the World’s Temperance Convention, which meets at Metropolitan Hall today, at 10 o'clock, and the sessions of which are to continue for four days. Last spring, by resolution, the strong-minded wo- men were ruled out of this convention; and hence the independent demenstrations of Miss Lucy Stone and company of last week, winding up with the squash festival of Saturday night. and the supplemental abolition orgies of Sun- day evening. This World’s Temperance Con- vention, therefore, enters the arena free from the socialist, woman’s rights, vegetable and abolition annoyances which ruled the roast at Miss Lucy’s assemblages. Such men as Dr. Lyman Beecher, Neal Dow, Gen. S.F. Cary, Hon. J. B. O'Neal of South Carolina, John Cas- sell, of England, Rev. John P. Hunt, and other gentlemen, are named as among the speakers expected at this convention. Before the expiration of the week we may anticipate some important proceedings from this imposing convocation of temperance men. We count upon some general schedule o/ ope- rations in the political elections of the whole country. on the Maine law platform, by the temperance party—and we are particularly impressed with the idea that a principal object of this convention will be to orgauize a Maine law movement in our State elections of November. This may be don> upon inde pendent temperance candidates. or by a con- centration of the temperance vote apon such Maine lav candidates as may be picked up from among ithe nominees of both the old political parties ; or by a mixed plaa. compre- hending independent Maine law candidates enly where suitable men cannot he found among the whig or democratic nominations. In this po- litical view, therefore, this World’s Temperance Convention may be justly regarded o3 an affair of no emall importance: while, apart from poli- tics and political action upon the Maime law platform, its proceedings wil! excite but little interest and ocecsion but little alarm. Put we suspect tuat from aod after this convention, the Maine law will be formally introduced as an active element into our New York elections, If co, it is highly probable that it will be the ba- lance of power in the November contest, aud, between the two dismantled old porties of the past, carry both houses of the Legislature. Such are some of the probabilities conuected with this World’s Temperance Convention. Its results will coun determine whether we have over estimated or undervalued ite importance, But have the woman’a rights women dis- banded and cieared out?

We gave yeaterday ® verbatim report of the scenes Fhich pired =} vetropolitan Hall on Sabbath evening last, and we were much gratified to see that the people of New York were so temperate, in view of the style in which the speakers villified them, their religion, and their fellow-citizens of the Southern States. That the votaries of Garrison, Greeley, and Stone, the ultra abolitionists, are nuisances, who deserve a straight jacket and six months each in the airy locality of Blackwell’s Island, no man in his senses, or woman who has a pro- per idea of her “mission” as a bumanizer and beautifier of all that pertains to earth, will for a moment doubt. But if these people were punished as they deserve—if they were impri- soned and beaten with many stripes—they would appeal to the sympathy of the public, an appeal which is not often made in vain. Tbe man who murders his wife and demolishes his children finds come soft hearts to sympathise with him, and to interfere between him and the law which exacts “blood for blood.” So with the abolition fanatics. Were their doctrines acceded to by a majority of the people they would bathe the land with the gore of our citizens falling in de- fence of rights guarantied to them by the con- stitution and laws which we have sworn to pro- tect and defend. But it would only assist these seditious vagabonds were they denounced, hunted, and put to death. as would have been their lot had they not chanced to live in a good-natured, and among a jol- ly, laughter-loving people. We will not al- low them to be martyrs. It is too much honor. We do not think, however, that Greeley would imitate the philosophy of the saint who was broiled upon a gridiron, and who an- nounced to his persecutors that as he was suf ficiently cooked upon one side he would thank them to‘ turn him over.” ~ But many of them would love the cause for which they suffer, and desire to be persecuted for opinion’s sake. They are the “false prophets” against whom we are warned by the voice of inspiration, aud as they can do no harm we -only laugh at them, It is said that William III. pardoned a notori- ous Jacobite, when everybody imagined that the friend of the Stuarts would have been made ahead shorter. When asked by a minister his reason, the sagacious prince replied that the man desired martyrdom, and therefore should not die: “We'll have no more martyrs in Eng- land.” We follow his example, and wil have no martyrs in the United States. The people will go and hear the ravings of the abolition maniacs ; but they do so for excitement—for a cheap place of amusement—for a good laugh. as they would go to see Burton in a new farce, And, by the way, if these “ entertainments” are to be frequent, the cash box of the great delineator of “Captain Cattle’ and “ Mr. Toodle” will be apt tosuffer. Sometimes, when the abolitionists go too far with their plays— when they indulge in such sentiments as are expressed in the following extract—then the people go as far as they do, and take measures to break up the orgies of the insane crew. On Sunday night, at Metropolitan Hall, Miss Lucy Stone said :— We mean to have a new Northern republic. (More hisses, acd the confusion became general.) You mey hiss it it yon please, but itis like shooting a popgun against Gibraltar. (Hisses, cries, and laugh- ter.) We go for the abolition of slavery or the dis- solution of the Union. (Cries of “ Turn her out,” and @ storm of hisses.) The South must abolish slavery or stand alone. The Union must be dis- solved, or slavery must be abolished. Now, there were some persons in the audi- ence who thought the joke had gone far enough ; they knew that Mr. E. D. Culver was a bore, that he would not amuse them as Lucey Stone had done, and, as they had paid their money, (one shilling each,) they took it upon themselves to stop the performance when they had had enough of it. No violence, no blows, The jokers in the gallery confined themselves to pungent remarks, well seasoned with the wit of Atticus, and an occasional volley of hisses by way of dessert to the repast. The abolitionists were discomfited. They could not bear ridicule. it annoyed them to be laughed at. We must hold on to them. They afford us too much amuse- ment, ond we cannot afford to love them at pre- sent. We do not often see anything so very funny as one of their “conventions,” and can- not lose it altogether. No; no! Garrison and Greeley shall make us laugh much more. Tae Csmese Mrasiox—Mr. Wa KER’S; DE- cLination.—It will be seen by a special tele- graphic despatch from Washington, which we publish this morning, that Hon. Robert J. Walker has at last made up his mind with re- gard to the Chinese mission, and declines to ac- cept it. We presume that, as Mr. Walker went on to Washington upon the invitation of the Secretary of State. there was a full conversa- tion between them upon the subject, and that the declination of the post is final and conclu- sive. Mr. Walker, perhaps, had exhausted his patience in waiting for a suitable eteamer; per- haps he has come to the conclusion that the golden opportunity for a dashing free trade movement among the Chinese will now have passed away before he could get there; perhaps his health is hardly equal to the requisitious of thie active campaign among the Celestials : perhaps the attractions of the Pacific Railroad and other great home enterprises aru superior to the temptations of China; but whatever they may be, we doubt not that Mr. Walker’s reasons ‘or declining the Chinese mission are good and sufficient. We trust, however that the administration will speedily fill the vacancy, not with reference to Chita alone. but eo as to include all the independent Oriental nations in the schedule of the new appointment. This generai com- mission may require the action of Congress. a in the ease of Central America, to establish 't vut that should not delay the despated of the Minister to China, for it will be easy enough, upon the extension of the fieid of his labore, t irauemit him deepatehes to thut effect.

Tuos. A MaRsHALL, | Exeoators of H. Jamus O. HARKIBON. Clay, dec’d. Lexington, July 31, 1853. It is a matter of regret that we have hereto- fore exhibited such regardlessness in relation to the homes of the great men of our history, and have let them pass away into the hands of strangers to their name and blood. The coun- try should have possessed at least some of these sacred spots. and maintaimed them inviolate from destruction or innovation. Mount Vernon, at all events, should have been purchased by the federal -government, and guarded as a shrine to whjch the worshippers of liberty in all lands might look with religious veneration. The home: of Washington should never have been permitted to pass from the family into the hands of ordinary speculators, Monticello, the abode of Thomas Jefferson, was also entitled to the country’s guardianship. Marshfield is still, we are happy to know, in the possession of Mr. Webster’s family; but Ashland is about to be aliented. As the government cannot, in this case, take any steps to procure this consecrated spot, and retain it as public property, we trust that it will pass into the hands of some man of soul and patriotism, who will respect its sanctity, Joun Van Buren’s Movements.—There seems to be a contrariety of opinions among our de- mocratic cotemporaries of the ‘rural districts,” concerning the movements of John Van Buren in reference to the approaching Syracuse Con- vention, The Albany Argus says:— The presence of John Van Buren at Buffalo on the day when ie ay meetings were held—his visit immediate]: rwards at Rochester, then at Syra- cuse, and then at Oswego—and the fact of his bein; closetted with the freesoilers at these points, souple — the fact of the custom house bolt which has just ired—are circumstances which all £2 to ial is errand to the faithful is to inculcate he and the sending of sham delegates, twbarover the freesoilers cannot control resulta. To which the Rochester Union—soft shell— replied as follows:— The Argus, in its ration, is folly. Why should Pager Pf std woich are sure to be exposed in less than tweaty-four hours? Jobn Van Buren came here from Buffulo in the eve- ning train, and went almost immediately to Oswego, and not to Syracuse. But to this the Syracuse Daily Star (whig) puts in the following powerful testimony against the Prince and his soft shell adherents;— In this, Mr. Rochester Union, you tell a whopper. John Van Buren came to Syracuse and had a swarm. of barnburner abolitioni-ts around him at the Syra- cuse House, from some time in the afternoon of Wed- nevday until twelve or one 0% ‘clock at night. Among the number who “ staid op” with the Prince, were P. H. Agan and Horace Wheaton, the former, the editor-in-chief of the abslition Standard, and the Jatter, the Mayor of Syracuse at the time of the erry reacue,” and who contributed so much to that mob triumph by his Tnasterly inactivity and neglect of duty. That Jubn’s visit here had some specific political object caunot be doubted. Among other significant demonstrations, it must have oeen noticed that since Monday the Standard has been unusually bold in sending forth its rauk abolitionism. And the organ of the hard shélla of this city says :— john Van Buren has been out reconnoitering through all the old strongholds of barnbarnerism, stirring up the minds of his abolition orethren. aod counselling them to send their “‘stronzest men” to the State Convention. He was in ley county iwo days before they held their count; 7 coavention forthe lho of delegates, and insisted that Judye Thurston, who is one of the red hot stripe of abolitionists, should be appointed. But the brethren of Chemung took it into their heads that John had shown bimrelf a little officious in travelling three or four huvdred miles to dictate to them whom they ebould send as delegate, aud refused, by a handsome majority, to appoint his man Thurston. The weight of the testimony here presented is against the Prince. We must therefore cou- clude that he has been canvassing the commou- wealth with the view of bringing up a strong force of free soil soft shells to Syracuse, From present appearances too, he will have majority, and an overwhelming majority. in the convention, previded the huukers join in. Butif they do not, (and it is ander- stood they will not.) then the gume is blocked at once, and the prospects of the election of Master Joho to the United Statea Senate be comes as dubious and foggy as the chances of Daniel 8. Dickinson. The above extracts, however, will satisty the friends of the Prince at Washington, that when there is work to do he is not the man to be idie, With thie object. we commend the said extracts to the special aitention of the Washington or- gan. The l’riuce sticks to his bond, Ovn Premier's Insraverioxs on Diptomatic Unirornms—A Gooy Bearnntna. —The Paris cor- reapondent of the London Vimes has givea a very fiattering acovunt of the first appearance of our acting Churgé des Affaires at Paris, Mr Sandford, at court, ia the plain dress of an American citizen. He says that, “This anas- suming costume, which presented a strik og coitiort with the glitter of embroidery and the olaze of stars and crosses around, caused much sensation, and ix the topic of conversation in all the political circles.” And this, too, be it remembered, althoogh Mr. Sandford appeared in the faebion of whe present day.

Tue Onryans or New Orieans.—About noon yesterday, a small parcel was sent to the Heratp office, enclosing forty dollars, with the following request:— This contribution ($40) is sent expressly for the benefit of the children who have been made orphans by the fever at New Orleans, New York, Sept. 14, 1853. There was no signature—nothing to indicate from whom this gift for the poor children of New Orleans came. This is true charity, direct from theheart. There is no parade, but a de- sire, beautifully expressed, that the orphans should be thought of and protected. We hope Mr. Frost will see that this money is appro- priated as Tequested by the giver. Lorp Joun RvssELL AND OUR GovERNMENT ORGan pro tem—The Washington Union is continuing its strictures upon the letter of Lord John Russell on the Cuba question ; but as we have already published the article on this sub- ject foreshadowing clearly enough the policy ofour government, we shall let the rest pass. We can hardly spare the room for a series of learned essays on the single letter of Lord John, We commend, however, the whole series to our veighbor of the Evening Post.

Tbe theatre at am early bour wat crowded in every department I+ looked beautifal, having been painted throughout the private boxes wore a tplerdid sapect, and the audience seemed delighted with: the melodious music of the orchestra. The improve: ments, generally speaking, bave added much to the com- fort of the visiters, particulerly the ladies, for whose. convenience @ beautiful cloak room, with female atten- dant prepared, and in front of the hal was @ spae cious and elegant raloon, with refreshments for the au- diexce. The performance commenced with Bourcieault’s comedy of ‘ Love in Maze,” which was put upon the stage, as the play bill informed us, with ‘' new and appro= printe scenery and costumes,” and certainly, we must say, we never saw & piece so beautifully mounted. To exlarge upon the performers individually, where all are so excellent, is, indeed, o difficult task, but Mies Laura, Keene, as Mrs, Bucktborne fully established herself in the high position she has attained since her ar- rival in this country. The hesitating, but too confiding wife, left to pursue her own i; ‘dnt ptill possessed of that high sense of her husbaad’s honor which prevented her from sworving, were finely portrayed; and slibough sho was suffering from severe imdisporition, abe did all that was possible for the part, Her appesrance at ‘be end of the first act was thesigaa) for a general rising of the whole house, nor did they rest, satisfied wnti} she appeared befure the curtain to receive the friendly greeting of the audience with a shewer of beautiful bouquets. Tony Nettletop was admirably played by Mr. L. Thompson—his first appearanee— while Mr. Lester, as Colonel Buckthorne, looked and acted as only that geutleman can lock aadact. The Mopus of Mr, Brougham was a bighiy finished portrait, and kin. Brougham, as Lady Aurora Fallalove, waa really magnificent. Nor mast the excellent acting of Mra, Stevenr, an Faith, be fergotten. ‘No Song No Supper,” in which Miss Julia Gould played and sung delightfully, concluded one of the mest agreeable and pleasant evenings we ever passed within the walls of & theatre. We predict a prosperous suason for Manager Waliack. The comedy will again be performed this evening. Mrs. Ayna Cons Mowatt — learn that the report that this distinguished lady is too ill to appear again om the stage in incorrect. She has for thres months been severely indisporsd, but is now convalescing.
