Single copies, in wrappers, aixpenee, Tne Nevss, Witb the view of enlightenmg as well as enter taining the great majority of readers who are now nx ovsly watching every move upon the political ehess-board, we today devote a large amount of ‘pace to the details of the traneactions of the demo- tracy at Syracuse. The graphic reports of the apeeches, combined with the vivid and lifelike escriptions of the various exciting scenes and curi- ‘ous incidents, will doubtless attract far more atten- tion than anything of a similar character that bag Bitberto taken place in this State. In connection with this matter, do not forget to read the letter from Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson, ia reply to the barge: preferred against him by Secretary Marcy's @rgan at Washington. ‘The free soilers of Massachusetts met in State Con vention yesterday, for the purpose of making their nominations for State officers. Parties in that, as ‘we)] as a!l the other New England States, are split ap to a greater extent, if possible, than they are even in New York. The old issues about the tariff, United States Bank, territorial annexation, &c., hhave been entirely submerged and hidden from view Dy abolitionisem, teetotalism, socialism, and other Materials of discora which have been cast into the cauldron of politics within the past few years. The last returns from Maine render it very proba- dle that the democrats will have a small majority, on joint ballot, in the Legislature, in which case Hon. Parker Pillsbury, the regular democratic nominee, will be elected Governor. The Maine Law party of Hamilton county, Ohio have nominated candidates, most of whom are demo- erats, ‘or Senators and Representatives in the State Legirla ure. The letter from Gen. Cass to the President, about which there has of late been considerable talk, is re- ported to have simply anproved of the policy of the inangural, and expressed confidence in the honesty and integrity of Gen. Pierce. Nota word is said concerning either the members of the Cabinet or thore who lave been appointed to office. We publich to day areport of the interesting cele- bration which took place at Hartford, Connecticut, on Wednesday, the 14th inst., in commemoration of the entrance of the Mexican troops into the capital of Mexico. The celebration of the anniversary an- a@wered two purposes—one the drawing together of the officers and men of the New England regiment, and establishing a regular association of them for gach annual reunions—the other as furnishing an appropriate opportunity to the members of that body of teti‘ying, befcre his departure for the Court of Rossia, the respect, esteem, and affection which they entertain towurds their former commanding Officer, Governor Seymour, of Connecticut. Both thee purpores have been reslized, and the com- gm>moration of one of the glorious achievements in which the New England regiment partic'pated is to be henceforward properly observed by its surviving officers and men. The celebration next year is to take ploce in Providence, R. I. The Court of Epiacopel Bishops at Camden have @ismiseed the presen‘ment against Bishop Doane, chiefly upon the ground that the accused had innocently acted ip an injudicioas but not criminal maanner. A tugilive slave woe arrested in the streets o Philadelphia yesterday. On being taken before the Commissioner, he acknowledged that he belonged to Dr. Whitridge of Baltimore, with whom he imme diately started for home without giving further tronble.

Some additional intelligence from China, ex. $rveted from our files which were bronght by the Faoklin, is given in another page. The news is, as usual, very curious and interesting. The sudden ap. pearance of a Russian squadron—a fact noticed in the Hzraip of yesterday morning—in the port of Hong Kong, had given rise to much doubt and many surmises with regard to its present object and ultimate destination. Some conjectured that th vessels were sent a4 a sort of flotilla of observation, commissioned to watch and report npon the vonnec- Yon of foreign powers with the revolationists; ethers, that the Emperor of the North was about to assist his Eastern brother in quieting his now trouble- fome subjects; hut the weight of popular opinion duclined to the bulicf that the sbips would set < ae mackams antlatnate the dt mot = VAPRD, ere peewee eererernpern een snuenee cane at Jeddo An account by Dr. Teylor | —an American missiovary—of hia visit © the camp of the revolutionists, at Chin Keang-P, with a translation of his proclemation to their lead care avemmge wile Spracane F ci ‘After reading the platform of Pend es nid down by each of the two der cratic conven- tions at Syracuse. 9 atre ‘anger to the working of | our politieal magainery would be extremely ers, will throw muck light “spon the position, sro- | puzzled to make out “what's the row.” Only gress, and strength of the insurgents.

The meetings were of aa informal character, and no important business was transacted at efther, This morning they will hold another meeting, when some action will bs t ken to adv nce the interests of lioraries throughout the country. We hope tbat this movement will be attended with the most beneficial results in the minds of our youth, for the establishment of libraries may be taken as one of the strongest proofs of the moral and \atellec- tual condition of a country. Success attend the ef for’s of the L'brariams. In the Board of Aldermen last evening, a resoln- tion was nffered by Alderman Startevant, proposing to remove from the office of Chief Engineer, Alfred Carson, whore conduct of late has given great dis satisfaction to the City Pathers. The resolution, after ashort debate, was adopted by a large majority. For the official report of the proceedings, together with a sketch of the debates, see another column. The Trade in Breadstuffs—Piospect of Another 1847, The rise in breadstuffs in England is anotable fact. Good Ohio and Western canal flour were selling at Sis, and 31s. 3d., and wheat was quoted in Mark lane at 55s. to 58s. per quarter. On all sides we find the same evidence of short crops and prospective scarcity. Napoleon is continuing to effect largo purchases of grain in London and at the Baltic and Black Sea ports. He has removed the differential tonnage dues on ships freighted with corn, Meanwhile, flour has risen nearly one hundred per cent in many parts of France. In Belgium the duty of 1850 on corn has been suspended. The exportation of breadstuffs from the dominions of the Pope and the King of Naples has been prohibited by law. Sweden, heretofore an exporter, has beea competing with the English and French pur- chasers in the Baltic, and large cargoes of corn have been imported into the Swedish ports. Add to this that freights have risen so high at Odessa as almost to amount to a prohibition; that the navigation of the Danube is interrupted; that the occupation of large sections of the wheat-growing country in the southeast of Europe by the forces of Russia and Turkey have checked both agricultural and commerciat operations. and the alarming nature of the approaching crisis will be seen with tolerable distinctness, Asecond 1847 isin fact clearly foreshadowed. In that year, as most of our readers recollect the failure of the crops in the British isles caused an usasual exportation of wheat—nearly 2,000,000 quarters—from thie country. Bread- stuffs rose to fabulous prices—speculation knew no limits—ané, as is invariably the case on such occasions, the net result of the fever was a com- mercial panic. accompanied by disastrous fail- ures both here and in Great Britain. Our precent cixcumstances are not precisely analogous to those of 1817. Then, ecarcity was confined to the British isles; and targe supplies of wheat were sent from the Baltic, Belgium France Italy and the Levant, to England. Now, the fuiluze of the crops is expected to be gene ral; and the countries whose competiiion led to our ruin in 1847 are actually our customers. We shall be required te supply all Europe with bread. This very important distinction between the two periods must be carefully borne in mind. At the saine time, the old commercial plan of anticipating on this side of the water, and ex- aggerating a rise in breadstuffs in Europe, was never more finely exemplified than in our mat- kets today. Three months ago Ohio flour sold here at $4 50 to $4 75, when our Wnglish ad- vices reported sales in London at 21s. to 23s. A month later Obio waa worth $4 87 to $5, on London advices of 23s. 6d. to Thirty day: ago it sold here at $5 12) to $5 374, on Londoa advices of 27s. Gd. to 28s. Now we hear of sales in London at 31s., and we suppose that holders would not care about selling here under $6 50 to $6 75. The careful reader will see how ca- gerly every rise is acted upon and even antici- pated by our dealers, and how small a margia is left for profit to the shipper. Should the ex- citement in Europe continue it is more than probable that flour will sell here at even higher rates than it would fetch in Mark lane. Our merchants know their own business bet- ter than we do, and if they choose to make the fortunes of our corn growers we shall not be the men to complain; but it does seem to us that, under no possible combination of circum- stances can a trade be prosecuted on this prin- ciple—a principle more clovely allied to gamb- ling than anything else, or lead to any other re- sult than ultimate ruin and loss. It may be prosperous for a while. Those who purchased flour here at $5 may now make $1 50 a barrel by selling it on the spot, or more by sending it to London. Shipments at present rates may pay; but a time must come when the European markets will take a turn, and the worst of that event will be that it will fall like a thunder- clap on people who, encouraged by past profits, have invested larger and still larger sums in the traffic, and for whom even a small loss will probably be ruinous. Eighteen hundred and forty-seven is not £0 long ago that its calamities can have been forgotten, Let our merchants bear them in mind, lest folly and thirst for gain should i¢ad to their repetition, Orrice-Hotpma DeLecates To SyRacvse.— It was an injudicious move on the part of the soft shells to send any of their brethren from the federal offices of this city as delegates or lobby members at Syracuse. Their presence did no good. Mr, John Cochrane, Surveyor of the port, had better remained at home; and Mr. Isaac V. Fowler, ony industrious Postmaster, would have rendered more service to his poli- tical friends by remaining at his post of public duty, and by paying the expenses of some in- telligent proxy not among the soft shell ap- pointments of the administration. The appoint- ments of the President were one of the real is- snes before the Conventions. and Messrs, Fow- ler and Cochrane should have remembered, that in the practice of the criminal law the prisoner is not allowed to give evidence in his own be- half before the jury. Bat the case is ont. There is a smash among the crockery, and we can only advise the parties concerned to “save the pieces.” Messrs, Fowler and Cochrane are therefore, discharged, © Better luck néxt time,’ ‘ look at the essence of the two sets of resolutions | in juxtaposition, to wit :— | HARD SHRLL PLATFORM.

Declares Baltimore platform is not an amnes ty of factions except npon an urqnalified recognition of its prirciples 8. Tenders the right hend of fellowship to all who concnr in the forego- ing reaclutions. 9. Certifies hard shell nowinations. It willbe seen that there was a manifest effort on the part of the soft shells to outbid the hards upon the Baltimore platform and the inaugural address; and that upon the Fugitive Slave law and the agitation of the slavery question the Jate adherents of the Buffalo ticket have transcended our most sanguine ex- pectations. They have come over to the hunker faith on the negro question with a pertect rush. wholly unparaleled in the annals of grousd and Jofty tumbling. It beats the artistes of the Chinese Tong-Hook-Tung Association all hollow. The flexible transmogrifications in the Red Gnome and the White Warrior are scarcely more astounding. But, upon inspection. it will be observed that there are some rather important differences be- tween these two sets of Syracuse resolutions. Those of the hard shells are bold and defiant— those of the softs humble and submissive. The hards speak ont like independent men, whose province it is to dictate the terms of reconcili- ation—the softs affirm their allegiance to the national issues with the modest earnestness of an extorted repentance. The hards endorse the inaugural address, but avoid the Cabinct ; while the softs make it a particular point to approve the selections made by Gen. Pierce in the appointment of his Cabinet. In other words, the harda give their fellow citizen. Gov. Marcy, the go-by, while the softs pat him affectionately upon theshoulder. The so'ts fol- low this up by their full approval of Gov. Sey- mour and the State officers acting with him—an- other glaring omission on the part of the hards, rendered extremely conspicuous by the re- nomination of Mather while under trial for imp achment by the soft shells. On the canal question both sets agree to the propoeed amendments to the constitution; but while the hards, in this connection, are pleased to pass a high eulogium upon our particular hero, James E. Cooley, the softs wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole; for the approval and the nuwloation of Mr. Cooley tnvolve the adop- tion of his terrible rpeeches in the Senate againet the appointment policy of the admiv- siration. t will be remarked, also, that while the hards particularly declare themselves the dis- ciples of “manifest destiny,” the softs permit -the question of annexation to take care of itself. Perhaps they may still retain some conscien- tious reservations against the acquisition of Cuba as another slave State; but we are rather inclined to suppose that these enthusiastie con- verts to the Fugitive Slave law would, upon a pisch, be found not only equal to the annexa- tion of Cuba, slavery and all, but to the ab- sorption of all the West India islands, Hayti inckided, as slaveholding acquisitions to this glorious Union. There is, howevr, an exception or two to this sweeping charge. Prince John Van Buren, not having read the soft shell resolutions, and not having voted for them, holds his opinion in re- serve. He can support the administration with anybody—vote all day for the Baltimore platform in the lump. and the inaugural in the abstract, you know; but. when it comes down to these inquisitorial specifications on slavery it requires a good deal of mighty nice reflection and deliberation. Preston King flatly says: ‘No; I cannot and will not endorse those ex- treme pro-slavery declarations.” Yet Preston and the Prince will,unquestionably, continue to be among the leaders and most zealous support- ers of the soft shell ticket and the adminstra- tion, with the permission of the Washington Jnion. Thue much for the present on the distine- tions between the two Syracuse platforms, and between the hard shelis and the softs. Stand- ing out in the attitude of desertion from the ad- ministratien, the hard shells will have uphill work before them in this campaign ; but much will depend upon the spirit and the intentions with which they may. enter into the fight be- fore the people. Ifthey are earnest and united they may effect a revolution; if not, their blow out at Syracuse will dwindle down into a ridi- culous farce, We shall soon know what they are about, 7. Promises to resist the revival of such agita- tion in Congrese. 8. Certifies the soft shel] nomivatioas, and again swears allegizace to the Fugitive Slave law. Cosrser Remons—A variety of rumors ot portending changes in the Cabinet are afloat, Among these itis reported that it is possible that Mr. Dallas. ex-Vice President. may go to France. or may go into the Cabinet. so as to allow Mr. Marcy or Mr. Cushing to go to France. But what difficulty can there be now in the appointment ot Gen. Dix? Has he not endorsed the Baltimore platform? Have not the South endorsed him and also the New York Evening Post? Finally have we not had two democratic conventions at Syracuse? What, then, is the matter ? Mr. Dickixson’s Lerrer.—We lay before our readers this morning a letter from the Hon. Daniel S Dickinson, in reply to the late article of the Washington Union charging this chief of the bard shells substantially of being no more nor Jess than a converted tree soiler. At this juncture this letter will he interesting, not ouly to both of the democratic parties of this com monwealth, but to men of all parties throngh- out the country. The Union's article was ma/ propos. Itdid no good at Syracuse, What hae It to say now ? el | Top Ree Ee Mus.“ onaax.—One of the Newport correspou- cats makes the following statement of the late unpleagant affair at Newport :— Tt appears thata certain Mr. Morgan, who has been ing at the Touro Street Huse, uw der what circumstances of provocation we are not epabled to say, but it matters little, for nothin: could jostity the act—infli ted personal chastisemen! upon “his amiable and defenceless wife, who in @ daughter of Dudley Selden, Esq, of New York. Her cries, a8 we are told, alarmed the inmates of the hotel, who fortbwith hastened tober reseue. A high- minded and hor orable gentleman, Mr. Isaac Hone, ‘whose heart is ever open to the plea of unprotected distress, then came forward toher rellef, and. baving obtained a writ of habeas corpus, proceedsd wil the Sheriff to carry out the same. The lady is now, with her servant and three children, at the Bel'evue The case came up before the Judges at the court house in this place yesterday, and will be resumed some time during the ensuing week [n the mean time the Judge appointed a gnariian for the lady iv the person of Rev. Mr. Dumont, of this place —a yentleman in every respect fitted to do credit to the trust !mpoced upon him. From our own correspondent we learn that the matter was so far arranged by the friends of both parties that Mrs. Morgan had agreed not to make her charge before the police ma- gistrate at Newport, as it was previously be- lieved she would, but that she would commence a suit for divorce some time next month before one of the courts in Providence. There is ano- ther version ofthe matter, however, which gives it an entirely different aspect. According to this account, the parties have agreed upon a sepa- ration; the lady is to go to Paris, where ber father, Mr. Dudley Selden, we regret to state, is lying seriously ill; and Mr. Morgan is also going to the same city, that he may be near his children, who will accompany their mother, with whom they are at present. Meantime, we see by the following, from the Newport Even- ing Mercury of the 14th inst., that Mr. Morgan has become involved in another serious difli- culty, originating in the first uapleasant affair :— [From the Newport Evening Mercury, Sept. 14.) AVFRAY AT NEWPORT. An attack was made this morning on Mr. Isaic S. Hore, by Messrs. W. R. Morgan and Matthew Mor- gan, Jr., in fron’ of the Bellevue House. ‘Tre facts, as we learn them, are these:—About 11 o'clock, a8 Mr. Hone was enteriog his carctage, in ftrontof the Atlantic House, Mr. Matthew Morgan, Jr, stepped up to him and said that his brother would like to see him at the Bellevue. Mr. Hone immediately walked over there, and as he approached the house Mr. W. R. Morgav rasbed toward bim, exclaiming, “Sir, | have an account to settle with you for calling me a monster.” or to that effect, and dealt him a number of severe blows with a cowhide over the face and head, causing the blood to flow profusely. A vumber of gentlemen present interfered, drew "| Aeram At Newrout—Me. AND | a a SS Newport when called offas above. The feelings of the community have been greatly outraged by this cowardly attack. Since the above wasin type we learn that another writ has been served on the Morgans, in a civil suit, laving the damages at $20,000. Tbe parties were overtaken by the Sheriff and arrested. Subse- mently they gave the required bail, Hon. R B. vanston and William 8. Wetmore becoming their securities, The lady who is thus forced beforé the public is the daughter of one of our most re- spected and prominent citizens, Mr. Dudley Selden. She is said by those who are inti- mately acquainted with her—and she has a large circle of warmhearted friends—to be an accomplished and intelligent lady, and of the most amiable disposition. Tar Witas Perna Ovt.—Since the demo- ovatic oxplorion iat Oyracuse the whigs are be- ginning to prick up their ears and rustle among the bushes, some of them even peeping out a little bit to see the lay of the land. Among those the Albany Register speaks quite hopefully of the prospect for the whigs this fall to carry their State ticket through the opening in the democratic ranks; and our staid and quiet cotemporary, the Commercial Ad- vertiser, is almost enthusiastic on the subject. and is unusually earnest in his appeal for a unjon of the whigs on a liberal and conciliatory basis. Well, we shall see what will come of it. We ave quite prepared for two whig conven- tions af Syracuse, But tauch yet may be done for the cana] enlargement, or the reunion of the whigs, which, we suppose. is the same thing, Two full weeks yet to the fifth of October.

Bat it was far otherwise one hundred years ago, when the actors of Hallam’s company carried and exhibited o written character from place to place, youching for their respectability, and statiog ‘that they were capable of entertaining @ sensible and po. lite audience! Mapae DE Bzrc’s Ssconp Concert took place last evening at Metropolitan Hall. Owing to the illness of Steflanone the audience were not indulged in the luxa-y of » female vocalist. Marini was, however, on hand, and few complained of the exchange. We regret to say that, as on the former occasion, the audiencs was thia. People have not yet returned from the couatry, aud there wore, besides, several attractive bills of fare elsewhere lastevening. These who, out of the number, selected ‘Mune. de Berg’s consert did vot return disappointed. ‘We have spoken already of hor style Toast she isa Dighly accomplithed pianist, and an artist of distinguisned merit, iv now tolerably well known in New York All the pieces played last evening, especially the fantasia from “Roberto,” confizmed the impression produced by ker Jast concert. She is nots showy player—-does not sacrifice the comyoser’s wusic for striking jeux de main— adheres to her theme, snd doss her best to render it with truth ard simplicity, Leopold de Meyer never founda more faithful interpreter; nor, indeed do we recoliect to bave heard the sweet romanza ‘Quando lasclar ls Dormardie ” rendered with more lively effect. In fact, Mme. de Berg belongs to the g.d old school of planiets, smong whom it was an established rule that the instru- mentaliet should etrive to dissppen: bubind the composer, instead of absorbing snd extinguishing the latter be- neath s shower of newfangled and hazardous vagaries, Asruch, she is welcome to the musiosl world of New York. The new school, founded on the priasiple, “every sirgey his own comporer,” bas too many di-ciples am ng us. We trust that the wholesome example of Madame de Berg may be followed ia more quarters than one. Paul Jutien—not to be sonfoucded in any way with Monsieur JaMien, of Castle Garden—is always well re- ceived. His variations on an air of ‘La Muta’’ were, as usval, charming The firmness of bis stroke and tho masterly decision with which he hancles hfs bow, are deyond praise in one 40 young. Nor ought we to pass over apy oscasion of eulogizing the artintic melody which he elicits fiom the simplest combination of sounds, He was loudly applauded last eveniog, and very justly eceored Mareteck was there, but the compositions selected for the orcheaira were not so populares ueusl Maretzek is greatest at the overa: he lavguishes in a covesrt, Nezt week, we trust, we shall see him in all his pristine glory. Of Marini we need say nothing, save to racord with sorrow that bis are: is still worn ina sling. His * Non piu andrai’”’ was sung in his best manner. Mozart sellom finds a more worthy reprerentative. He, too, ressived the compliment cf an enosre. Salvi’s falsetto was greatly admired by the ladies, As it poured forth in a atraggling and almost imperceptible stroam, you coa'd have heard apin drop. Our regard forthe ‘ beter” half of creation forbids our saying anything by way of eriticiam, If the dear creatures were to persist im awarding the palm of vecalism to a teakettle, we should resignedly send in our achesion to the sentence, Cn the whole, the concert wont off yoll. Bat we would ventare to suggest to Madame de Berg that it is # peril- ous experiment for the most distinguished pianists to rely vpon their talent for an audiencs at Metropilitan Hall, Oar New York public is becoming tiazé upon con- certs, Alben made little, if anything, dy her last; Gottechalk lost money by his, Tne more waves of tne artistic and musical world, the more firm becomes our conviction that the most powe ‘ul conbization of wlont is now required to recure success. Iodividual merit is ignored. People who have hesrd, for a dollar, Sontag, Badiali, Marini, and Steffanone in their best parte, Ma retwk’s orchestra in all its strength will not readily pay that sum to hear avy single ertist whatever, Ta: New Damrsmiee State AGRICULTURAL SOcIsTY.— Amongst our mary notices of approiching agricultura exhibitions ard State fairs, we must not omit to call the attention of the public to the annual fair of the above society, which will be held in the city of Maxchoater, N. H. upon the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of Ovtobar. The extending combination of associa ‘ed labor which is Gaily taking place amongst ws, under the legalized form of county, district, and State Agricultural Societies, affords one of the mest ploseing evidences of American progcess, ond one of the surest gusrrantees of naticnal stability which the country possesees. The recorded irannastiona of the New Hampshire Society for the years 1850, °51, and 62, just published, show that the people of thet State have entirely got rid of an indiffe-ence to the value of ruch institutions wh'ch is nociceable in their early history. A copy of the municipal register of the city of Manchester, containing the ru'os and orders of the Com. mon Council, haz been alro forwarded to us, and its con tents lead to the belief that the proceedivgs of the body are cor ducted with wicdom. justice, aud, as evidenced by the documents, much rucosse The society originated in the free will efforts of a fe © individuals, acd now oumbers amongst its members and officers many of the leading men of New Hamprhire, Presicent Pieros being of the body also, The exoibition will be found worthy of atten tion aud patronage.
