A dispitch from tou express’s a fear that some calamity has befallen the steam towbo:t Ajax, which left here for that port, for the purpose of bringing back the ship Eéwin Forrest. Nothing has been seen of the Ajax since Monday, when she was off Chatham. The ship President, which went achore on Partridge Islend, N. B., it is thought will prove a total loss. At last accounts thirteen of the crew were still on board, all efforts to ge: them on, shore baving thus far failed. [iThe extensive flouring mills of Messrs.

The popular movement to- ward self-legislation is stil! progressing, and not rith- standing some concessions upon the part of the home government, which were intended as constitutional ameliorations, the bulk of the people were not satis- fied. The delegates of the Bendigo diggers had ar- rived in Melbourne for the purpose of having an in- terview with the Governor. Some of the leading men of the colony were attempting to haveestablish- ed a titled nobility in Botany Bay, an idea which was Fidiculed by the journals as preposterous. A Mel- bourne gold escort had been attacked by robbers, a large amount of gold dust stolen, and some of the guards badly wounded. One robber had been ar- rested. A large quantity of bullion had been shipped from Sydney for London. Varions local improve- ments were projected, and the markets ruled firm. An inexhaustible supply of coal had been discovered in the district of Geelong. The colonial revenne returns of Victoria were very satisfactory. The question of a State support for the clergy is 2 ting Van Dieman’s Land. From Valparaiso we learn of a disagreement be- tween the officers and crew of Lady Franklin's searching ship, the Isabel, which it was said had led to the abandonment of the expedition. Two hundred thousand dollars worth of property had ‘been destroyed in the city by fire. A Brazilian war ‘vessel—the first—had entered the harbor. Miss Kate Hayes gave her farewell concert, which was attended with great éclat. Two destructive fires had occurred in the province of Copaipo. Valparaiso, and flour had advanced in price. Our correspondent at the Chincha Islands fornis nother, and very minute, account of the tu stances attending the late outrage upon an American captain by the Pernvian authorities. There were upwards of one hundred vessels there loading or waiting their turn to receive cargoes of gua Several of these yessels must remein for m d un- re shes the islands before they can be supplicd. It was said that the Pert had agreed to allow fall compensa’ t the insults and injury to the Americans. Queen Pomare, baving been pox, issued a decree to the Cons' Tahiti, which is published, as is the United States Consni to the King of the Sand- wich Islands upoa the occasion of his presentation to his Majesty. New Granada papers intorm us‘that the firs accident occurred upon the Panama Railroad up: ‘the Ist inat., when a train with six hundred passen- gers was thrown off a bridge, at Taberelia, intoa ravine sixteen fect deep, by running over an ox. Four men were killed and eeveral severely inju-ed. In accordance to the call issued by what is styled the Democratic Iepublican Committee, the Van Burenites or free soil democrats assembled in Tam- many Hall last evening for the purpose of ratifying the nominations mnde by that party for city and county officers. Speeches wore made on the occa sion by Messrs. John Van Saren, Martin Grover, and other prominent leaders, and letters were re- ceived from General Dix and Isaac A. Verpianck. From the full and accurate report given elsewhere it will be seen that Prince John made a wholesale onslanght upon Messrs. Bronson, O'Conor, and other national democrats, Read the proceedings and en- Soy the sport while it is fresh, ‘The free democracy hada mecting last night at the Stuyvesant Institute.

The evidence showed conclasively their innocence of any participation in the murder. The first lecture of the season before the Mer:an- tile Library Association was delive red at Hope Chapel last evening, by Dr. 0. W. Holmes, of Bos- ton; the subject of the course is “ British Poets of the Nineteenth Century,” and that of this lecture “Wordsworth.” The analytical, critical, and sati al powers of Dr. Holmes sufficed to make even this subject and this poet—generally considered the acme of dulness—quite interesting. A report of the lec- ture la unavoidably emitted ta day, The Rey. Dr. Kipp, of Albany, was yesterday, at Trinity Church, consecrated Missionary Bishop to California, to which responsible station he was elected by the lato General Convention of the Pro- testant Episcopal Chureh. A large amount of business was disposed of by the Board of Aldermen last evening, as will be seea by the official report of the proceedings. Reports were adopted in favor of appropriating fifty thousand dol- lars for the Juyeaile Asylum, and ig favor of an ad- ditional appropriation of forty thousand collars for cleaning the streets. Should the object named be accomplished, our citizens will not regret the latter appropriation; but they baye so often been beguiled with movements of this kind, particularly on the eve of election day, that they will be very apt to look upon this step with suspicion. Another feature of the proceedings was the adoption of a resolution di- recting the Commissioner of Streets and Lamps to report what repairs and improvemetts are necessary to make the several market houses more convenient and comfortable for dealers and customers. <A re- port in favor of increasing the salaries of lamplight- erswastabled. Various papers from the Board of Assistants were concurred in. The Richmond Enquirer—To the People of Virginia and the South, The Richinond Enquirer, having assailed the Union party of the North and poured the vilest calumny and abuse upon the editor of this paper, has, it seems, discovered its mistake. and endeavors to retract, in the following terms:— [From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. 25), The New Yorx Hsraxp misconceives or misrepre- this paper tu respect to tue feud rent factions of the she 8 of an imminent ruptu seen, We e occasion to depre: side interference im the feud. a3 anex:zlusively @ principle, and tend.

It would have been base ingratitade in the Southern press even sileutly to submit to an assault on the men of the North who had been just to the South, when the object of the assault was to build up the fortunes of our ancient enen: on the ruin of our faithful allies. But oor participation in the fight was strictly limit- ed to a defence of huukers aga’nst sttacks | which impugned their soundness on the slavery — and thei fidelity to the democratic party.

Truly enough does it say, from its own recent experience, that a course of intervention was sure to be followed by “trouble;” a trouble, it might have added, the greater as the alliance between the En- quirer and the Van Burenites was the more monstrous. Trouble, in trath, and shame—deep, fecretary Davis lately charged Jadge Bronson with having at one time entertained and advocated free soil sentiments. The Judge denies this charge in toto, a8 will be seen by his letter in another column. The free “soil. democrats of Plymouth county, Mass.,in convention on Thursday, adopted a resolo- tion approving of the course pursued in removing Mr. Bronson from the Colleetorship of this port, for refusing to obey the mandate of Secretary (/athrie with regard to the appointment of subordinate offi- cers. This matter is being discussed with a creat deal of acrimony by the zational men on the one side, and the freo soilers and secessionizts on the other, thronghent the entire country. The national democrats of Middlesex county, Mags., ina recent convention, adopted resolutions repudiating a!! coalition with free soilers. They nominated a separate ticket for legislative officers. The Legislature of Vermont, by a majority of fif- een, has selected Mr. Robinson, democrat, to the Governorship. ‘The Legiclature of Tennessee seems to have great difficulty in effecting a choice for a United States Benator in plase of Hon. Jehn Bell, whose term ex- pied with php lant Congres, Bight more unsuc burning shame—could not but pursue the indi- vidual who, to use the Enquirer's own self- accusing language, had evinced the “ base in- gratitude of silently submitting to an assault on the men of the North who had been just to the South.” In point of fact, the solution of the whole course of the Enquirer is probably to be found in the recent appointment of one of its most in- ntial friends to a prominent diplomatic mis- For this share of the spoila it is quite ready to lend its support to the Van Burenites of the North, to bespatter the trne friends of the South with abuse, and when called to account to deny, equivocate, and misrepresent the facts, So contemptible a policy might perhaps pass unnoticed; but in v.ew of the past standing of the Enquirer we haye afew words to say to the people of Virginia, For the last twenty years we have been bat- ting with all the organs and fMfluences of abo- lition in these Northern States on behalf of the pastitutional rights of the South, We bay sio’ the Van Burens, the Garrisons, the Greeleys, and the whole army of free soilers and their al- Nies; and though surrounded on all sides by open enemies of the constitution and Southern institutions, we have never failed, in the hour of need, to “defend to the utmost of our power that constitution, with all its compacts. all its pledges, all its guarantees to the Southern States of the Union. For the last twenty years— ever since the first dawn of the Northera aboli- tion party-—it has had good reason to count us among the most uncompromising and deier- mined foes it had, That character we have pre- served?amid evil and good report; and now, at this momentous crisis, when North and South are again/about to be arrayed against each other,‘and’the country stands on the brink of the greatest conflict it has ever witnessed, we are proud to preserve it still. Tt does, then, we confess it, seem to 13 a strange and wholly gratuitous instance of in- gratitude on the part of a leading Southern journal like’ the Richmond Enguirer, supported by Southern men and [representing Southern interests, to turn round against us, and declibe- rately endeavor to destroy our character and reputation in the South, merely because we (have unmasked the policy of the Cabinet,”and shown that Marey and his colleagues are reviving the Van Buren dynasty. and insidiously planning a yet more terrible onslaught on Southern institutions than hes ever been attempted. This hasbeen our crime We have in these latter days remained staunch and faithful to the great cause of the Union, and have assailed the disguised free soilers who now control the administration with the same bitterness and the same hostility as we assailed Martin Van Buren, Wm. HL Seward, and Wm. Lloyd Garrison. For this we have been de- nounced hy the Richmond Engrirer, Foulest calumnies have been heaped upon our name, grossest falsehoods have heen circulated re- specting our motives, basest lies have been ut- tered with regard to our designs—the whole, with tbe sole aim and object of impairing the confidence which the South has ever placed in the Herat. Does the South know this?) Can the men of the South stand idly by and see their old friend —the only true friend they ever had in the Nor- thern States—attacked and struck down by trai- tors from their own ranks? Can they witness such atrocious ingratitude with unconcern? We have lorg known the Southern heart, and are sure it is still as sound, as true, and as steadfast as itTused to be; and even if self in- terest was silent we should still expect to see the South rise as one man to sweep from their land sueh a traitorous journal asthe Richmond Enquirer, and establish in its stead a news- paper which should not requite twenty years of faithful, devoted friendship, with calumny and abuse. But common prudence dictates the necessity of replacing that journal by one which can truly speak the sentiments of the Southern people, fight the hatile of slavery with free soil- ism and abolitionism, and co-operate with the only true end firm friend the South ever had in the Northern States. We call upon the South- ern people—their own interests call upon them to act promptly and energetically in this mat- ter-—to stop their subscriptions and withdraw their advertisements from that traitor to them and their interests-—the Richmond Enquirer— and to transfer them to a journal that will re- present the South without disgracing it, and evince some sympathy for the only friends it has in other sections of the country. Prospects of our National Drama, Everybody who has been to the theatre with- in the last few weeks must have been struck by the immense crowds whieh" flock to boxes, par- quette, and galleries. Burton’s, Wallack’s, the Broadway, and the Bowery, and indeed every theatre where comedy and drama are given, are thronged nightly to suffocation. After the doors are opened it is rarely possible to obtain aseat; and this is the case even when the eve- ning’s bill of fore is neither particularly attrac- tive nor particularly original. The Italian opera alone—which is, perhaps, the most meri- torious of all eur public amusements in point of management and artistic merit—has not, until the recent production of Massaniello. drawn greater audiences than the house would hold. An obvious inference from these facts is that a taste for iheatricals is spreading among us, and that, while our aristocracy are unwill- ing to pay for the luxury of their opera, the people are both able and ready to expend what- ever sums may be required for the maintenance of popular comedy and drama. We are, in fact, justified in asserting that we have reached that point of refinement and luxury at which the theatre becomes an important national in- stitution. Our taste has visibly improved dar- ing the last few years. We are less liable to be imposed upon by foreign charlatans, and less prone to regard the verdict of European critics as rendering any decision of our own superfluous. The applanse of a New York audience is no longer such a matter of course as it used to be. Even in that class among whom a taste for theatricals is new-born, and who were formerly entire strangers to the stage, and, perhaps, regarded it as a school for immo- rality and dissipation, there is now more dis- criminating judgment and critical acumen than are possessed by many European audiences, ‘These are symptoms of the birth ofa new era in our social history. In other countries the droma tist has been the father of the actor. At first the same individual combined the two qualities: but we have no reason to believe that both were equal in excellence. Greece had no good actors—according to antiquarics— until long after her dramatists had written; and, with one exception, the best porformers that Rome ever yroduced rose to fame just when her literature was dying out. So in mo dern times. Who knows anything of Shak- speare as an aclor'—of Moliere, beyond the bare fact that he played Sagnarelle and Monsieur Jourdain? They created the drama in their respective countries--the stage was horn after them. Before they appeared there was no correct dramatic taste in France or Eng- land. They evoked that taste by their admi- rable compositions, in which the faults and fol- lies, virtues and peculiarities of human neture, wore depicted with o skill anda truth unknown before. But the art of delineating various shades of character by tone. action and manner, on the stage, was not fully developed till atter they had deserted it, It was in these and all other countries an offshoot—a consequence of the birth or revival of a correct taste for dra- matic worke. Our dramatic history prestnts a striking con- trast to this general law of progress. With us the actor hes preceded the author. We have had many first class actors born among us, and We have Jearped to appreciate the best foreign performers, but we havenodrama. The cause of this has been, first, the fact of our inheriting from England a drama already developed to its high- est point, and which, though stamped with a na- tionality different from ours, still, being written in one language, served our purpose so long as the taste for theatricals was in its infancy; and, secondly, the absence of a general love for the drama and the engrossing nature of our more practical pursuits. It would now seem that our taste is becoming mature, and our fondness for theatricals an established fact. It may, therefore, be reasonably asked whether we are not at this moment about to witness a new and startling change in this branch of our social history—nothing less. in short, than the birth of a national drama ?—whether the audiences which have hitherto execised their critical powers on a dancer or a tragedian may not be expected ere long to pronounce finally on the merits of a first class dramatic work!—whether, at some period not very far distant, the first re- presentation ofa five act drama, or comedy, or vaudeville, may not be as important anevent in the refined circles of New York as it now is in Paris or the other Continental capitals? To us it seems that such a change is the na- tural consequence of the improvement of taste, the developement of luxury, and the inerease of wealth among us; and we cannot help regard- ing the projected novelties at two of our princi- pal theatres as symptoms of its speedy oceur- rence. We need~hardly say that we allude to the new plays which Mr. Dion Bourcicault, the English dramatic author, is about to produce at Burton’s and Wallack’s. We mentioned one of the two—Don Quixotte the Second—a few days ago; the other, which we understand is still en portefeuilie, will shortly be completed, and produced at Wallack’s. We have heard of other origiral plays, presented to or accepted by managers, and we trust that the latter will see that it is their interest to bring outas many as possible. We have subsisted long enough on the leavings of London, Let us have some- thing new—something that we can call our own. The people will not grudge their money; but if they are forced to choose between a house where novelties are produced and areal attempt made to build up a national repertoire, and one weich does not venéure beyond the London play bills, it iso vious that the former will ab- sorb the largest share. Ocr APrLication ror THe Frenci Misstoy.- Our application to the present incompetent Cabinet for the mission to France creates a very sensible and interesting stir amongst the news- papers of all classes threughout the Union. The discussion goes on without intermission, and in every form and shape. Some think we would make a very good minister; others salute us with the title ofscoundrel, villain, rascal, and all the other savory epithets: which seem to be pecu- larly gratifying to the present highly classical Cabinet at Washington. We have been accus- tomed for twenty-five years to meet like a phi- losopher all kinds of abuse, and we do not think that the spoils Cabinet can manufacture abuse, through all their forty or fifty organs, sufficient- ly strong to put us out of good humor with our- selves,with the world, with our prospects for the French mission, or alter our kindness aud res- pect for the President, or our high appreciation by the female sex. In the meantime, a new phase in this extraordinary discussion about our fitness or prospects for the mission to France begins to show itself. Our amiable cotempora- ry of the Tribune, whose instincts are equally opposed to Christianity and decency of lan- guage and manners, hag the following notice:— The Washington Star states that there is on the files of the State Hh aheeg written application for the Krench Mission on behalf of the notorioas James Gordon Bennett. The Star cays tt will have this interesting document brought to light wkea Con- gress meets, Very good ; but why postpone this interest- ing developement of the documents until the meeting of Congress? We rather think that we shall bring them out publicly on our own hook, and show to the world precisely the ground on which our application rests for this important mission, and the merits which we certainly believe we possess for receiving it from the hands of General Pierce, when he shall be properly enlightencd, cijher during the present term of the Presidency, or after his re- election in 1856, when we know he will be better informed on various points, Whether our application has beca put on the files of the department since our attention has been direct- ed to this subject we know not; but if it has not, it should be forthwith placed there, and accessible to every newspaper editor and slang- whanger in the Union, before the President be under the necessity of making the appointment or presenting the case to the United States Senate. It would have saved the Senate. a deal of trouble if a great many of the foreign appointments—such as Soulé. Foresti, Robert Dale Owen, John I. O'Sullivan, and many others—had been discussed in the news- papers in anticipation of their appointments by the President and his Cabinet. As to our merits, we still insist‘on it that in every soctal, poli#%al and moral point of view, our charac- ter and reputation, among those who know us personally for the last thirty-five years in this community, staid far higher, much purer and better, than two-thirds of the recipients of the foreign appointments made by the President, and probably than half those of his domestic ap- pointments. We are perfectly willing to measure our character and our reputation, in every point of view, with that of any man in this community, from the President of the United States. through the depravity of his Cabinet, down to the lowest tidewaiter in the custom house. It is true our rivals and enemies in newspaper enterprise make a great many unfounded, ridiculous, and intangible charges against our character; but no man can ever put his finger on a single ast of ours in violation of any one of the ten com- mandiments promulgated by a higher power on Mount Sinai. We know our character, our prin- ciples, our strength: and we defy the eslumny of all the factions throughout the Union, aided and abetted by all the political scoundrels everywhere, combined with Satan himself, who istheir great patron and great inspirer on this occasion. We declare again, that in consequence of the discussion forced upon us about the French mission, we are now, openly aud above board, an applicant for that mission, and that we ab. solutely expect to be appointed to the Court of the Tuilerics immediately after the re-clection of Pierce in 1856, if he should not get enlight- ened on the subject before that great event and appoint us at an earlier day. If the present spoils Cabinet be an obstacle to that appoint- ment, we expect yet to be abje to remove that obstruction, as we sometimes see the Strect Commissioner order the removal of a nuisance in Broadway or the Bowery—cart them off ! This will be enough to-day on the French Missipn—plenty more to-morrow, NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. From Washington. MR. DISNEY, OF OMIO—NAVAL MOVEMENTS—TUB NEW REVENUB CUTTERS, ETO. ‘Wasmaron, Oct. 28, 1858.
