Our Washington despatches this morning contaio some interesung intelligence. An effort iy to be Maude to render the navy more efficient, in view of the auticipated troubles iu Europe. The suspension of the business of Mr. Draper appears Ww hav caused quite a sensation at the capital. Captain Gibson bas publisbed a letter expressing himself satisfied with the action of the government in his case. Of the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania we kuow but little. A despatch from Cincinnati states that the extire democratic ticket is elected ia that county by a msjority of from 1,000 to 2,500. In Philadelpbia Gilpin’s majority for Mayor is over 4000. tbe democratic State ticket has gone out of the county with a handsome majority—between five and seven thousand—T. H. Forsyth, candidate for Canal Commissioner, leading. The vote for the As sembly ticket is a close one, but the democrats are undoubtecly elected. While the spoils Cabinet at Washington are en- gaged is the work of pacifying the quarrels of poli ticiane, and parcelliog out plunder to place-seekers, the rights ond even the personal liberty of American citizens are put in jeopardy in foreign countries. Our correspondent at Porto Plata—Domisica—whose letter may be found in another column, informs us that severa) American citizens established there had been impressed into the army; and the American consul, after having repeatedly addressed the go- verpmevt ou the subject, was at list insultingly told to produce his documents to prove that hewasthe United Sta‘es agent. A little more of practical protection to our countrymen abroad, and a little less vaporing on the subject at home, would better establish the sincerity of the President's inaugural. The whigs of Boston held a@ ratification meeting | io Faneuil Hall last evening. Hon. Edward Everett, ‘was the princioal speaker, and bis remarks were mainly directed in opposition to the new State con- stitution. The meeting was largely attended. We publish to day the speech of Daniel S. Dickin- son, delivered on the Sth instant at Rochester. It is a complete re utation uf the charge of free soil ten- dencies made against that gentleman, and an utter snnibilator of the Van Burens and the soft shell leaders gererally. Mr. D. also ‘speaks his mind” of Secretary Marcy in no dainty phrases. The Native American party of New Jersey held a convention at Trenton yesterday, and nominated Joel Haywood for Governor. Governor Broome, of Flori‘a, in his inaugural, on the 3d instant, stated that he should consider it a part ef his constitutional duty to see that the law of the last cession of Congress, providing for the re- moval of the Seminole Indians, be faithfully exe- ented. Charles 8. Vedder, has been invited tothe edi- torial charge of the new hard shell paper at Sy- racuse. By an arrival at New Orleans, dates from the city of Mexico to the 13th instant, are received. There were reports of a revolution at Yucatan, and a steamer with three hundred troops had been des patched to qnell it. Don Lino Alcorta had been ap: pointed Minister of War. A New Orleans paper states that a conspiracy had been diseovered at Puebla, involving several persons of infiuence, some of whom had been ordered to leave the country. Our files from the Babamas contain copies of the Navsau (N. P.) journals, dated down to the 28th o September. We bave also received advices frem Turks Islands, which come down to the 17th of the same month. There was a great dearth of news atthe Babamas, but we have a favoradle report of the sanitary condition of the people. A good deal of salt had been raked at Tarks Islands, and a acar- city of vessels to take it away was complained of. Onr misceilaneous news from both places is inter- esting. The long-contested Mason will case has been a Jast decided by the Court of Appeals, in favor of the respondents, Eighty-one complaints were brought before Judge Green, of this city, yesterday, for encumbering the streets, and fines, varying from five ‘to thirty dollars, inflicted upon the defendants. Are there not a few more left of the same sort ? The decision of Judge Greer, in the case known as the “ Wilkesbarre Fugitive Slave case,” will be given on Saturday. The proceedings in this matter before the Circuit Court, at Philadelphia, yesterday, will be found in the telegraphic colu mn. The Rev. Mr. Thompson delivered another of his instructive lectures on Egypt at the Tabernacle last evening, which will be published to-morrow. The sixth and seventh days proceedings of the “Trienpial Episcopal Convention may be found in to- day’s paper. The Convention has been, during these two days, engaged in amending canons and altering constitutions. The unkind cut of Bishop Ives, of North Carolina, has greatly unzettled the wise heads of the church. They are puzz'ed to decide how they can legally fill the place made vacant by the apostate Bishop, who was epoken of in terms not the most kind during the debate. The steamer Flag, laden chiefly with dry goods, was sunk at Flint Island, in the Ohio river, yester. doy.

Some of | the journals atiempted to enter into a minute analysis of his assets and the causes of his fail- ure, and others contented themselves with | simply stating ihe fact in general terms. The | matter created a great deal of astonishment ia | all quarters and reminded us, in a remarkable | degree, of the effect produced in the same re- | | | gion by the equally sudden and unexpected ex- plosion of the Messrs. Josephs, the bankers and | speculators in Wall street. in the commence- | ment of the great revulsion of 1837. | For some days after that failure—we remem- ber it perfectly well—ihe newspapers continned to announce that the Messrs. Josephs would certaivly resume payment on the pext day. The next day came, and payment was post- poned till the following; and when that , day arrived it was postponed til let- ters should be received from their agents in New Orleans. The letters at last came; but the Messrs. Josephs never resumed their payments, because that explosion was the ccmmencement of a general collapse, which had been brought about and superinduced by the expansion of the previous years, and by the | strange and misguided action of Mr. Van Bu- | ren’s financial policy in the management of the | money affairs of the country. At the present , day, it is said that Mr. Draper intends to re- | sume payment to-morrow. We do not be- | lieve that such a thing will come to pass. In- | deed, we are rather inclined to think, from the | appearance of the financial horizon, that we are not very far from the commencement of one of the most tremendous convulsions that has overtaken the credit system of the country. and we believe that this convulsion has been precipitated on us. without warning and with- out notice, by the strange and extraordinary management of the surplus revenue and finan- cial affairs of the government. under the pre- sent ignorant and incompetent Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. It is now eighteen months since we described in the columns of this journal. in every variety of form, the process by which the country was gradually verging towards another explosion of its financial credit system, of a more remark- able and extraordinary extent than that which took place in 1837. We pointed out the facts, wedescribed the causes, and we analyzed all the elements that were then at work in bringing about this event. We are not certain but we are now in the commencement of that great change. and that this commencement has been | hurried upon us, as we have already said, by the acts of the Seeretary of the Treasury at Washington. There is every reason to believe that the credits of the country have been forced beyond their natural boundaries, even in the face of all the receipts of gold from California and Aus- tralia. The issue of bonds of all descriptions, | from under the guarantee of States down to the smallest city in the Northwest, has been of the | most enormous magnitute, mounting up to mil- lions after millions, and resembling in a parti- cular degree the condition of things in England | previous to the great railroad convulsion of that country a few years ago. Every sympton of the present day resembles, in a most marked and striking manner, the symptoms of that convulsion. which took place in 1837. The high prices of all commodities, the rise in the value of real es- tate, the extraordinary energy displayed in all sorta of improvements, the spread of social ex- | travagance, the corruption and profligacy of political men, and the grasping cupidity and extravagance of speculators, are all of the same character, though of a greater magni- tude now than they were in that disastrous period. In the midst of this unhealthy and extraordi- nary enlargement of commercial and all sorte of credits, we see the Secretary of the Treasury, | in his ignorance and presumption, using the sur. plus revenue under his control in a mode that will only add tightness to tightness and screw to screw till the collapse come upon us like a thunder burst in a summer sky. As a speci- men of this ignorance and want of knowledge, | the Secretary of the Treasury is just now buy- ing up the bonds of the government not due, and sending the very specie to Europe, without apy necessity for doing so, in payment of those evidences of debt held in that quarter of the world. But that is not all—we have every reason to believe that the same unscrupulous set of poli- ticians, actuated by the like principles and in- capacity, will produce the same results in the government credits and government moneys at this era, as those which they brought about in 1837. By the mismanagement of that time, un- der the elder Van Buren dynasty. there was, as we have already stated, a vast havoc made in commercial and mercantile circles. to which we may now add—by way of recollection—the terrible defaleation committed on the Treasury of the United States, directly and openly, to the extent of millions, besides the plunder made by the politicians, in the name of the States, of the whole surplus revenue of that day. What have we to expect from a government in the hands of the same regency, in the present day, actuated by the same principles, governed by the same views of policy, and possessing, by their control of the Treasury, the same power to help themselves in the general wreck of commercial affairs? We may look for defalea- tion on defalcation among the collectors and receivers of public money ; and we have no doubt that the rapacicus vultures of political life are watching with eagerness for the day when such an honest man as Collector Bronson will be turned ont, and afford them a chance of being turned in, so as that they might gorge themselves in the general wreek of the financia! world, with which the commercial atmosphere DOW appears overcast. , Governor Dickinson declined, I trust ' extension of free soil. | Gen. Davis. The Struggle of the Spoils Cabinet— Another Cireular—General Davis in the Field. Another Cabinet edict has been issued con- | cerning the present distressing tribulations of the New York democracy. It emanates from th» War Office. General Davis is in the field. H's letter. it appears, was originally intended to be private; but, in order to define his posi- tion in the premises, (which isa very important thing,) he has consented to make this precious document a public legacy. And here it BE Wasnineton, D. C., { ‘Thursday, Out. 6, 1853. My Dear Six—I have not seen the pdlication in the Henan, to which you re‘er, and which, if seen, would not have received avy notice from me, had it not been dignified by the attention of some one whose good opinion I regard. Thanking you for your bind interest and confi- dence in we, I reply that you have not, in this in- stance, mistaken wy position. Whatever may have been the lavguage employed, the statement that af had endorsed Preston King aud John Vao Buren is false, and, I will add, would have been absurd if I bad presumed to do so. I served with the first named gentleman in Congress, and upon the slavery questioa we were the antipodes of each other. Ot his subsequent course and present position I am not in- formed. The second named gentleman is known to me per- sonaily only by private intercouse; his position, as shown by the publications of the day, has been very objectionable to me, but now it is in accordance with the general amnesty declared in the Bultimore con- vention and ratified by the Presidential canvass of 1852. Ireceived the propo ition to unite on the plat- ' form declered by the democratic party in general convention, as a settiemeut of past feuds, aud have been ready to co-operate with all who, adbering faithfully to the principles and polivy then dectared, are willing to go with me in the onward marsh of democracy. It would have been hollow and dishonorable to have ailied with men upon that basis, and whea the campaign was over have summoned them to answer for their “ bygoue” opinions. So far was this from any purpose or policy of mine, that I had forgo'en, if indeed I ever knew, the contents of speeches aud letters which bave recently beea brought to lignt, and present men in whom | have entire confidence, as baving been, a very few years ago, the advocates + of free soilism, Notwithstanding the significant mark of eonfiderce given to Mr. Dickinson when he was offered the best financial and political appointment in the State of New York, I have not and wil! not approve the anti- slavery speeches he made in 1847 and 1849. And although Juoge Bronson holds the high post which shall not be numbered among those who subscribed to his letter of Juy 15, 1548, to the meeting to rati‘y the nomi- nation of Martin Van Buren, and contribute to the | T am willing in these, as in | other cases, to drop the inquiry into by-goue opinions and associations, to adhere to the compact of 1852, | to oppose disorganization, to resist agitation, and to promote the harmony of the democratic party, | as the best means of securing peace among the States and perpetuity to the Union. Now, this is Bot to approve objectionable antecedeuts—not to endorse the opinions at war with my creed, but to act as those who believe the union of the democracy to have been sincerely, honestly, and substantially made for public, and not personal, ends. 4 Holding, as Ido, that party organization is a ne- céssary means to insure success to principles on which parties are formed, I canvot but lament tie division which has, without recent cause, opened the old wounds in our perty of New York. 1 do not assume to mingle, still less to judge, in this family quarrel, but’will abide the course of rapidly traueprring events, and hope that the true | democracy may crush any eT Feel faction which goes into coalition with the whigs. Very truly, your friend, JEFFERSON Davis. It will be observed that in the matter of style there is a striking contrast between the late rescript of Guthrie and this pronunciamento of The one is coarse. brutal and dis- gusting, while the other is gentlemanly, polish- ed and refined. The one is the edict ofa bar- barian—the other is the explanation ofa man of society and good breeding. But while Guthrie approaches his object face to face, Davis does it by the circumlocution ot a private com- munication, which, he would have us _ believe, was not originally intended for the public eye. While, therefore, we denounce the vulgarity of Guthrie. we must say that he has at least the merit of flat-footed directness ; and while we commend the more agreeable politeness of Davis, we must repudiate the trick of a private | mask for his official proclamation. In another point, however. he rises above the grovelling instincts of his colleague, and that is, upon the great issue of principles. Secretary Davis makes out his case apparently to his own satis- faction, as an argument upon principles, and upon the amnesty of the Baltimore platform; but when reduced by the crucible to its real | elements, this smooth and plausible letter be- comes the veriest dross of a miserable coalition for th@gyiblic plunder. Gene to fraternize with all factions of the party em- braced in the Baltimore amnesty of 1852, he cannot approve the anti-slavery speeches of Dickinson. of 1847 and 1849, nor the freesoil let- ter of Collector Bronson, of July 15, 1848. But he is willing to letall that pass under the gene- ral amnesty, in which he himself is included, which is quite natural and consistent in General Davis; but it brings us to the direct issue against hbim—against Guthrie—against the Bal- timore amnesty, and all concerned. The ground we take is this—that the freesoil Bufalo party of 1848, and the Southern s sion party of 1850-51, were alike inimical dangerous to the Union; their princ tho’ as widely separated as the poles, were alike se- ditious and treasoneble; for the success of either the Buffalo platform or the Southern secession- ist policy, contemplated nothing short of a dis- solution of the Union. We do not approve, nor can we excuse, the free soil sentiments referred to of Messrs. Dickinson and Broneon. They be- tray too much of the weakness of temporizing | politicians for our purpose. But there is a mighty difference between the original free soil- ism of Dickinson and Bronson, vis-a-vis with the rampant abolitionism of the builders of the Buffalo platform. Brought to this test, John Ven Buren and his associates rank with William H. Seward, John P. Hale, Joshua R. Giddings and company. Dickinson and such men, when the issue was practically presented between the compromises of the Constitution and the Union on the one side, and the Buffalo platform, or successionism on the other, promptly ranged themselves with Clay, Web- ster and Cass, for the constitution, its compri- mises, and the Union. Sustained, too, by those powerful Union instincts which charac- terize the great mass of the American people, they vanquished the free soil and abolition dis- unionists ofthe North and the fire-eating seces- sioniste of the South, in that schedule of heal- ing measure known as the Compromise acts of 1850. And here we come to the real issues of the late Presidential campaign and the Balti- more Democratic Convention. The Secretary of War seems to believe that the President owes his election to the Baltimore convention, and that his policy must be squared to the “ general amnesty” of factions there vir- tually agreed upon. No such thing. The Balti- more Convention was nothing more nor less than a Convention of conspirators wrangling for the spoil. It was a coalition of office-mongers acting upon false pretences, as was the Whig Conven- tion a week afterwards. Very few of the demo- cratic delegates went to Baltimore with the in- tention of nominating General Pierce. But the factions were overruled by their necessities; for @ new and untrammelled man was the only me- dium for ending the squabble upon the old Davis says that while he is -willing | ones. Such was the “general amnesty” at Bal- timore. And what was the true fecling of the country in the campaign which followed, and what the controlling sentiment of the people? It was the integrity of the Union A love for the Union, and the compromises of the Constitution was the all-pervading spirit which animated the canvass and decided the election. It rose above all coalitions for the spoils, all treasona- ble factions—North or South—all calculations of Baltimore spoilsmen and mousing politicians ; for there is a sentiment of nationality in the great heart ot the American people, fresh and pure as the springs of Helicon, of which yout trading politicians never drink. The fact is, that General Pierce, from the Union principles with which he was so strongly identified, re- ceived a more effective support from the Union whigs of the North than from any converts of the school of Van Buren. The dying speeches of Clay and Webster did more to elect General Pierce than the paltry coalition of spoilsmen from Baltimore. The last speech of the great Carolinian did more to awaken the true national spirit of the North towards the South, than all the spoilsmen of the country put together. The independent press of the country, in bringing out the popular verdict upon the broad distine- tions between union and disunion, had more to do with the election of General Pierce than all the spoilsmen driven to his nomination from sheer necessity. These comprehensive facts in the great campaign of °62 may not be under- stood by the Van Burens, the Guthries and Davises, but they cannot be controverted. Such is the true interpretation of the late Presidential election. It has been the misfor- tune of General Pierce to misapply it. It has been his misfortune to erect his administration upon the “amnesty” of the factions at Balti- more, instead of planting himself upon the ver- dict of the nation. Hence he has fallen into the hands of bad advisers, coalitionists, and dis- cordant factionists, harmonizing only upon the spoils. Hence this rupture in New York at the prospect of a general and speedy dislocation or fracture of every bone in the body of the demo- cratic party. Hence the degradation of the Cabinet in descending from their legitimate du- ties to this pitiful custom-house squabble over the public plunder. Hence the ridiculous and suicidal manifestoes upon this contemptible subject of custom-house pap. issued from the Treasury and the War Departments. Yet General Pierce may retrieve himself and the fortunes of his administration. He has not gone so far that he cannot retrace his steps. Let him abandon the destructive policy of reconcil- ing the “discordant factionists of free soil and secessionism. Let him disperse these foul birds of prey, which only stick together while the flavor of the spoils is in their nostrils. We care nothing for Dickinson, Bronson, or O’Conor; but we haye some solicitude for an administra- tion elected upon such glorious issues, and ca- pable of such splendid results as that of Gen. Pierce. But he can achieve nothing until this spoils-system of his coalition Cabinet is put down, and superseded by a higher, broader, and nobler policy—till these futile attempts of mix- ing oil and water are abandoned—till the Union sentiment of the country is vindicated by the living practice of the government—till the ad- ministration in all its parts, is homogeneous, consistent, and national. But when it shall cease to rest upon an “amnesty” between abolition and secession—when it shall be planted firmly upon the principles and the partizans of the Constitution and the Union, it will stand upon a rock ; and will be all-powerful upon that plat- form, to crush into silence th: treasonable fac- tions which it cannot quiet by the public plun- der. There is no peace upon the slavery question. We have but an armistice. Upon the first pre- text the war upon the South will be renewed, when the Southern secessionists and Northern free soilers will spring again into active life. Where then will be the administration organized upon such treacherous elements? It will sink, with the Baltimore ‘‘amnesty,” in confusion and disguise. The only way of safety to Gen. Pierce is to fortify himself upon the Union principles to which. and the Union men to whom, he owes his election, This is the high rosd to success. His other course is to pursue the policy mark- ed out in the Custom House manifestoes of Guth- rie and Davis. This is the broad road to ruin. Secretary Marcy anp Conse Kixe.— We present to our readers this morning a letter from the late Consul at Bremen io the Secretary of State, with ecrtain documents to i narriage con- Which brings to se lamb and the wolf. It is | 8n imperative duty on the part of our consuls to verify all contracts made in a foreign land tobe enforced in the United States, whether contracts for money, contracts for business, or contracts for marriage. His refusal to do so would justly lay him open to censure and to removal from office. So soon as Secretary Webster advised the Consul at Bremen that a legal marriage must conform to the laws of the country in which it is celebrated, he applied to the Senate of Bremen to legalize such. The reply of that body is published, as also a copy of the certificate granted by the consul in con- formity thereto, Yet, without any investiga- tion into the matter, Secretary Marcy writes to the new consul, forbidding him to grant such certificates, severely censuring Consul King, and charging such as a good cause for removal. It was the only expedient the emigrant could adopt to meet a requisition of the New York authority. Marriage in most of our States is a civil contract—when it becomes valid in bne State it is valid in all, and throughout the world. We are assured that Consul King has served his country most faithfully. The rights of United States citizens in Bremen, under the treaty of 1827, were mever fully regarded until pressed by him, and now rewarded by unjust censure, Marine Affairs, ‘Tur Sreamssar Crvacewt Crrv sailed yesterday for New Or- Jeans via Havana, ‘Tur Munyt on Boarp mx Crurrer Fiyinc Ciovp.—-There- port of this vessel having put back to San Francisco 13th ult , on account of a mutiny, in which three men had been shot, extracted from the Alia California, instated to bea false report.

Before Chief Justice Oakley and a Jury. Oct, 12.—-Michael Fritz vw, Thomas O'Connor.—This wan an action for assault and battery, by the defendant throwing an iron instrument at the head of the plaintiff, and inflicting on him a serious injury. It appeared that the transaction took place in Anthony street, on 6th June, 1861. The defence was that it was not O'Ccnnor, but another man, whe threw the iron instrument. This the ea did not ‘believe, and returned @ verdict for plaintiil, Talk on Change. Owing to the delay in the receipt of foreign news anxi ously expected, the markets were without animation Common brands of State flour closed at $6 68 a $575. About 8,000 or 10,000 bbls. of State aud Western flour were sold, to arrive in November and December, at $5 87. Cotton continued dull. There were some rumors afloat regarding the stability of other houses; but they were pretty well ascertained to be Without ‘the slightest fourdation, During excitement like that of the present rumors were sure to abound, which were often mischievous or criminal in their origin, and should never be repented. There could not be said to be any panic in the pulic mind. The scarcity or abun- ance of money were ouly synonymous terms for the scarcity or abundance of confidence, Let everybody cry “tight money market,” and money would become “tight.” And again, if all persons were to say ‘money was plenty,”” it would forthwith become plenty. A change in the mo- ney market mostly denoted merely @ change in con- fidence. The belief was expressed that there had been overdoing in many departments of business, such as banking, rail- road projecting and mining, with a multitude of other speculations ; but, at the same time, it was believed that the country was never richer or more prosperous than at the present moment. The receipts and exports of gold during the past nine months of the present year had exhibited a balance in favor of the country of about twenty millions, Much of it had been scattered broad cast among the farmers, and especially among those at the West. In 1836-’37 the country had to import wheat at two dollars per bushel. Almost the only money held by the people consisted of paper issues of banks, which were either specieless, or were unable to redeem them. The produce of farmers was in most cases too remote from means of transportation to be of much value. Between that and the present period there was no parallel. A few peculators, overtraders, and high and fast livers, might break ; but the countiy would not and could not be ruined, The important public works erected ; the cities and towns built up ; the immense lines of railroads and telegraphs put in operation, and new territory cleared and improved, would remain, though all who had contri- buted to carrying them forward might fall by the way- side. Enterprizing men of this country were like the small insects which built the coral reefs in the ocean, each builder did his part and died, and was succeeded by others, who shared a similar fate, but every year the coral columns approached nearer the surface of the water, until they gathered seaweeds and the nutriment of living Plants, and large islands were formed, as durable as the “ yooks of ages. The Law Courts. It is said that there will be no alteration in the judi- ciary of the law courts of the city of New York, at the coming election, and that Juége Edmonds, of the Supreme Court, Judge Emmet. of the Superior, and Judge Daly, of the Common Pleas, all democrats, are certain of re-eles- tion. We are not advocates for taking away from the sovereign people any of their prerogatives, yet we must confess that the fact of the judiciary being an elective body tends more or less to render them biased by party influences ; and oftentimes when the mind of a judge should be fixed alone upon his judicial duties, he is per- haps harrassed by the annoyance of elections, and the chances of success or the fears of defeat. Another on dit —that Mr. Ogden Hoffman, who has been named by the whigs for the office of Attorney-General, declines the nomination. 4 Fighty-one cases were brought before Judge Green, of he First District Court, yesterday, against parties foren- cumbering the streets. Many of the accused were fined in sums varying from five to thirty dollars. There i, more work for the Corporation Attorney in #road street The interminable Broadway Railroad case is still on, and bids fair to rival the Mason Will case, Carroll against Carroll, or ‘Jarndyce against Jarndyce,” in point of term of litigation. FINAL DECISION IN THE MASON WILL CASE. The long litigated case between the heirs of the late John Mason, in which Isaac Jones and otuers were ap: pellants, and Joseph Alston and Helen, his wife, and othert were respondents, has been finally decided by the Court of Appeals, in favor of Mr. and Mrs. Alston and the other respondents. The question of the validity of the will was tried in the Cirouit Court of this city some months since before Judge Roosevelt and a jury, when a verdict was given against the validity of the will to this Mr. Jones and others appealed, and we understand from the coun- el in the cause, that the Court of Appeals has unanimous fustained the charge of Judge Roosevelt and the ver ict of the jury, which dixposes of the objections raised hy the executors’ counsel, as to the feigned iesue, and finally settles this important and long protracted litiga- ion.
