One of the most interesting features of the news is @he announcement that Joho Mitchel, the Irish patriot, accompanied by his family, had safely arrived 3a San Francisco. We regret to leara that the fire- fiend has again been busy in our new State on the Pacific. One-third of the city of Sonora is in ashes, ‘and property worth a millon and a balf of dollars has been swept away. The mining intelligence ix encouraging, but not a word is said concerning com- mercial affairs. Onr special correspondent to-day gives an outline ‘of what it is believed will form the leading feataras of President Pierce's first annual message. The Eu- yopean ambassadors ere represented as being pa- fioularly anxious to ascertain what would probably De the policy of this government in case of a gene- al war cn the other side of the Atlantic. Some of them view with suspicion the appointment of certaio gentlemen belonging to the progressive'school, to im- portant offices abroad, and upon the receipt of each steamer’s news it is reported the Russian Minister and the Austrian Charge may be seen traversing Pennsylvania avenue, the former to consult with the President in person, and the latter with Secretary Marcy. ‘The question as to who will be Speaker of the next House of Representatives seems to be one of the chief subjects of discussion in Washington. It is intimated by our correspondent that some of the lead- ing bankers are bringing their {nflaence to War upon #he matter, and that the favorite of the House hav- ing the most available funds, may possibly succeed im being honored with the gavel. The contest, it thus appears, will be altogether between the national politicians and the financiers, and as some of the iat fer are backed by the Barings on the one side and MM. Bodisco on the other, the issue is really narrowed down to an alliance wit either England and ali her possessions, or the Emperor Nicholas and all the Ruwias, Wait and see what will be the result.

Those who intend to exercise the rights of suffrage nex! Tussday—ond what good citizen does not /— will elsewhere find the names of the candidates no minated by the different parties for the various mu- aicipal and county fives. Much instructive infor mation may also be derived from the large number of political advertisements in our columns. There are so many factions, and eo many aspirants to the Paces to be filled, that it is important voters should be duly posted up in season. Rumors of failures were again rife in the city yes- Yerday—among others, three or four banks, the mames of which are given in our financial review. By telegraph we jearn that the notes of the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, have benn discredited at Cincinnati. A report was current in Brifalo that a prominent forwarding house in that city had failed for a large amount. Our mercantile and commercial classes will be deeply interested in the intelligence from South America which we publish to day, comprising trans- Iations of the correspondence which has recently pased between the Brazilian and Peravian govern- ments on the subject of the navigation of the Ama- yon. Brazil imagines that the recent law enscted by Poru, declaring the navigation of the river free to ‘all nations with which she has treaties, infringes on her rights, and therefore she protests against that Jaw, and annonnoes that she will hold Pera respon- sible for the injurious consequences she anticipates, Pern, on the contrary, insists on her perfect right to pass such o law, ani conceives that abe is nuder no ne) responsibility to Breil.

The nativity of the deceased of the past week is clas- sified as follows:—United States, 258; Ireland, 97; Germany, 30; England, 14; Scotland, 9; Franseand West Indies, 3 each; Switzerland and British North American possessions, 2 exch; Wales, Denmark, Afriea, and Portugal, 1 each; and 1 unknown. 100 Were men, 93 women, 123 boys, and 107 girls. In addition to a gre2t variety of other entertaining reading, our inside pages contain leagtby and inter- esting reports relating to maritime architecture, what is doing in some of our ship yards, &c. Also, Letters from Paris and Havana; Report from our New Eag- York; Lectures, by Mr. Holmes, upon the Modern Poets, and by Mr. McGee, upon the Catholic His- tory of America; Description of the Ascent of the Highest Mountain in America; Commercial, Reli- gious and Theatrical Intelligence, tc. land Commissioner; Article upon the Growth of New | Degradation of the Party Orators. We have already laid before our readers samples of the tone in which the Washington Union, the Boston Post, the Richmond En- quirer, and the Cincinnati Inguirer are ac- customed to conduct a personal controversy, Tt has long been an established practice of one journal in this city to calla man “a scoundrel,” when nothing more is meant than that the editor differs from him on some point of polities; and to assert that a statesman is a “drunkard and a gambler,” when the meaning intended to be conveyed is only that he would make a worse President than some one else. But until re- cently, these peculiarities have been confined to the party press, and have been generally re- garded as among the most unfailing tokens of its ruin and decay. Now, it seems, the speakers have caught the infection. Party orators as well as party writers have ceased to conde- scend to debate on principles; the most success- ful to-day is he who can dive the deepest into the weaknesses of private life, and lay bare do- mestic sores with most unflinching hand. Calm discussions on the questions in which the coun- iry’s good is involved have lost their charm; the poisoned palate of a party audience requires the spice of personal calumny. and has acquired a relish for indecent revelations. : Such is at least the natural inference from the recent speeches of Rynders, John Van Bu- ren, Cooley, and others. Of the two speeches recently delivered by Prince John, the first has been published as a “campaign tract;” and, as there seems to be a party which places great reliance in its moral effect, it may be worth while to examine it more closely than the oth- ers. It is not an easy matter to analyze it; but we can try. Prince John begins by stating that “it has heen deemed important to assail him person- ally.” We were not aware of the fact; and in presence of the fearful crisis which the country is approaching, we think the Prince’s sorrows inight possibly have waited a short time for re- dress. But no matter, We has been attacked, to wit, by Brady, Cooley, Sickles, Chauncey Bur, and Bronson; and in true lawyer-like style, he quotes the attacks, chapter and verse. Instead of replying, however, he abuses some other men, praises @ couple of butchers, and adds—james Irwin is a man of property, and if my friend Edwin Croswell will pay back the money he took from the Canal Bank, Jim Irwin cen buy and sell him twice over.” He passes gracefully from the butchers to aa “old brags guo” that has been everywhere—a “ bucktail gun”. “regular gun’’—a “ gun that never holts’—but leaves us somewhat in the dark as to the practical application of the gun parable. This inscrutable field-piece’ is succeeded by the ladies’ parlor at the Giobe Hotel, which is minutely, aud we have no doubt ac- curately, described: and after a casual allusion io Martin Grover’s shirt, we come at length to -omething which promises to be s serious ac- sunt of the attezapt to patch up the two divi- | sions of the democratic party in 1849. A few paragraphs, containing catalogues of commitiee men und State electors, we pass over as per- haps necessary preliminaries: but what shall we soy when we find that the sequel contains nothing of highcr aim or more practical point? We are told what Mr. Dickinson did, and what he didn’t; what Cutting said, and what he wouldn't say; what resolutions Cass commit- tees adopted, and what counter-resolations rival committees tried to adopt, but dared not. We are farther favored with fall lists of the va- rious State tickets put forward by these com- mittees, which are really very eotertaining matter for fireside reading. Finally—and it is the first time for many paragraph that the | orator has shown any feeling—a ferocious at- tack is made upon Sickles and the Castle Gar- den Commitice, for their ‘treason to the party,” whereby, says Prince John. with » bitteraess that can well be appreciated, many of our can- didates were defeated and good democrats left to starve. All this history of the movement of 1849 is eummed up ina groan over the lost apeils. Not a word, anywhere, of principle, patriotiam, of the country’s good. “Bnt.” he adds, “the danger to the Union from agitation of the slavery question is imagi- nary.” So astounding a statement required at least come little reasoning in its support. All abstract questions of right and wrong apart-—es nine men out of every ten believe the yory contrary of the orator’s assertioa, common reapect to his audience ought to have indaced Prinee John to enlarge npon the point. In- stead of attempting it, however, he judiciously jects about Mr. Wood and General Seott, and secke relief in an allusion to his “wifs and child” A word is pat in for the school at which the last meationed interesting creature is onglt to read, but not @ shadow of a reagon to ow Why an agitation to destroy the funda mental institution of the South should not ea- danger the Uasion. The balance of the epeech. like the beginning, is a mere tleene of scandal about public men to whom Prince John is opposed. Crogwell is fret abueed; “how been Sohn, “sold to George Law, at a cheap bargain,” Next a bateh nol contractors come in f ways for a share of ridi- Thea Bronson pastos under review.

It is, in truth, a fair sample of the party orators of the day. Another leading democrat, probably John’s superior in point of eloquence, and his rival in influence—Captain Isaiah Rynders—who spoke on Tuesday last, was even more direct in his attacks and pointed in his personalities: He had the moral courage to assail one of the foreign appointments of the administration they support, giving time, place, and names, where his ally skulked beneath covert insinuations: One the head, and the other the tail—we hardly know which is which—of the free soil demo- crats, they contend nobly for the palm which ought to be awarded to him who goes the far- thest in degrading the standard of popular elo- quence, and reducing our statesmen to the level of pothouse brawlers, The Progress of Shipbuilding--The Archi- ie of ghe America~Our Navy Behind the Co . In another part of this sheet will be found an interesting account of the progress of nayal architecture, by one of our reporters, who a day or two ago visited the model shop of Mr. George Steers, the constructor of the America, for the purpose of seeing a model of a very large ship about to be built, surpassing in excellence even the model of the peerless yacht, which hitherto has been regarded as the Ultima Thule of naval construction. It will be seen that Mr. Steers undertakes to make the new ship sail twenty-two miles an hour—a speed never yet attained by either sailing vessel or sicamship—and that he is willing tarace her against anything that floats for $10,000. In nothing has this country distinguished it- self more, for the last twenty years, and es- pecially for the last four or five years, than in the progress made by its naval constructors and shipbuilders in producing superior models and superior craft of all kinds. Formerly fast- sailing was considered a very secondary consideration, and’ it was deemed, moreover, incompatible with safety. The Americans were the first to perceive its importance, and, with the go-ahead character of the nation, were the first to put it into practice. They have ever since maintained the ascendancy they first achieved, and they probably will for many years to come. They saw that saving of time was saving of money, and that, moreover, a fast ship would be paid a higher freight than a slow one, They calculated, too, that speed diminished the chances of shipwreck by short- ening’ the trips, and thus abridging the period of exposure on the ocean, and that therefore, even if a fleet vessel was not quite so safe as a laggard, the danger of the former was fairly counterbalanced by the fact of the latter being liable to a greater number of perils. By her speed the clipper would he perhaps a week or two first in port, and thus escape a raging tempest that overtook the slower craft. Again, if the stress of weather was so great as to com- pel ihe mariner to seek shelter in some adjacent port, the fast vessel would have the advantare. by reaching the harbor before the violence of the storm so increased as to overwhelm every- thing exposed to it on a lee-shore. But it was diecovered by American science in naval archi- tecture, and by its practical application, testing the relative merits of the flect ship and the slow in the terrible realities of the deep, thatthe old theory was false—that beauty and speed could be combined with strength and utility, and that the fust sailer was in every way not only as sea-worthy as the tardiest tub in existence, hut, if constructed upon scientific principles, wes a far dryer boat, and could weather the storm, where the “ old fogy ” would be sure to perish. Our little pilot boats, so beautiful, and so re- markable for their fleet qualities. were so many exemplifications of the new theory, and con- tributed in no smali degree to explode the antiquated doctrines of other days. No single man has done so much to bring about the great reeult as George Steers, a native of this country, @ young man only thirty-three years of age. As he was the first to construct a model entirely superior to anything that ex- isted at the time, so he has ever since main- tained his pre-eminence; and while others have slowly imitated him, just as their prejudices. overcome by experience, would permit, he has made further progress, still following out to greater perfection the same principle with which he started nineteen years ago, when he model, (which was then regarded asa danger- ous innovation.) unless by bolder and bolder advances inthe same direction, till now the plain and unpretending mechanic stands con- fessed the Prince of Naval Constructors. Like most men of genins, his carcer has been marked by modesty; and were it not for the fact of his being employed to construct a schooner yacht, which was to “whip all creation,” and which haa actually done so in a great trial of skill in the waters of England. so long “the mistress of the seas,” his name probably would not have been heard outside of the Immediate circle of his private friends, and the shipbuilders, ship- owners, and seafaring men connected with New York. But that accident brought him into pub- lic notice, not only throughout the United States, but in Great Britain and all over the world. Eyen then he was nearly deprived of the honors which belonged to him; but the truth came out at laat, that George Steers was the mun who had constructed the model of the America, and superintended her architecture from atc to stern, from keel to topmast, Af ter his return from Mngland, where he sailed the schooner for the prize, he was publicly hon- ored by the presentation of a magnificent set of silver service, from the principal shipbnild- ers, shipowners, and merchants of the eity. Mr. Steers now proposes to build a sailing vessel that can outstrip any ateamer in the world, and ® mammoth steamship that will make the pas- sage from here to England in seven days, By reference to another repert eubjoined to the account of the models of Mr. Steere, it will be found that Mr. Griffiths, at Green Point, neor Williamelurg, is building a steamer on a new principle, which is to cross the Atlantic, from this port to Galway, in the same number of days. It js caleulated she will make the trial oext epring, and then it will be seen what she can do. The very attempt is indicative of the go-ahead character of the age. Sneh is the wonderful pro few short years in naval archi country, Butwhile every A vught to col proud of these sirides as to our merchaat ess made in a ctare in this Morrissey, ogni | mued, bas, tb marine, what shall we say of the condition of the navy. which is absolutely behind the age, and a disgrace to the country? There is nota steamer in the service that can exceed six miles an hour, as may be proved by reference to their logs—not one that a fishing smack cannot run away from. While our yachts, our clipper ships. and the steamers employed in our trade and commerce, excel the competitors of every nation, we are at an immeasurable distance be- hind all others in Our vessels of war, and parti- cularly steamers, There is not one at this mo- ment fit to go toChina. We are credibly in- formed that on a recent occasion a United States steamer, meeting a merchant vessel in distress off this coast, was unable, or if able was unwilling, to render her any assistance. In either case the matter demands investigation. How long is this state of things to last? When will Mr. Secretary Dobbin wake up to a sense of his duty and the performance of those services for which he is paid by the people? Something more is expected from him than par- ticipating in a division of the spoils. Ought not the condition of the magnificent English fleet, as recently reviewed at Spithead, put to the blueh our Secretaries of the Navy for the last few years? This important arm of the ser- vice has been totally neglected here—and why ? Because the men appointed to the office were chosen, not with any regard to their qualifica- tions, but entirely from political considerations. Hence their ignorance, corruption, and utter imbecility. Not only are menwf science thrast aside for politicians, but men of different trades and professions altogether get the contracts, The case of the six new revenue cutters order- ed by Congress, and recently built, and then rebuilt again at the navy yard. farnishes remarkable evidence of the way these things are done. Who really got the con- tract? Was it a shipbuilder ora naval con- structor? No; but Leary, the hatier, who obtained it in connection with Hood, of Somerset, Mass., at $90,009, making some $25,000 on the job. The consequence was that these cutters were utterly unseawor- thy, and it was necessary to do half the work over again. But revenue cutters, it seems, come under the department of the Se- cretary of the Treasury. All departments seem managed pretty much alike. We talk bravely about war, and progress, and of our flag affording protection to American citizens in every sea. This prate about protection is all very well in peace. But if a war were to break out to-morrow between England, or even France, and this country, would not our cities along the seaboard he reduced to ashes, and our merchant vessels captured and des- troyed all over the ocean? Mr. Dobbin, awake ! “Where are our wooden walls?” Jcho an- swers—‘ Where ?” Tur New Jersey Arr Unros—Soxrriine or a Coxtrast.—The following paragraph, from the Newark Advertiser, very distinctly shows what a striking contrast may exist between an Art Union on our side of the Hudson and an Art Union on the Jersey side :— A final meeting of the Board of Direetora of the New Jersey Art Union was held on Tuesday evening, when, in consequence of the decision in New Yor! that the American Art Union was illegal, and the existence of a statute in this State a; lotteries, it was resolved to abandon the enterprise and to relinquish the lease of the gallery they have erected to the Newark Library Association, and suggest that it be devoted to some purpose of art, science, or literature. Also, that the funds in the treasury— about $150—be egeally divided between the Foster Jiome and Orphan Asylum Associations. From this it appears that the last act of the Jersey Art Union was an act of commendable charity. On the other hand, the last experiment of the Broadway Art Union was an attempt to get out of Powell, for the privilege of exhibiting his magnificent national painting of De Soto, a few hundred dollars, after a virtual agreement that, from the superior merits of his great work, and bis claims as an artist, he should have the room free. With regard, also, to the funds in the treasury of the Broadway concern, when ordered to be wound up, no charitable institu- tion can have a word to say. It is only in New York where collections for Art Unions, and Trish rebellions, and Father Mathew benefits, got up ona grand scale, disappear as myste- riously as the woolly horse. They are behind the times in New Jersey. Cricket Match.

THE DRTECTIVE POLICE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE— CAUTION TO LIGHTFINGERED GENTLEMEN. The Chief of Police, for some time past, has kept a secret detective police force on duty at the Crystal Palace, for the purpose of securing the arrest of the many petit larceny lightfingered gentry who frequent that exhibition. During the last few weeks several parties have been de- tected by this seoret force, which, in all probability, would have escaped the notice of the uniform corpa. Articles are missed from the various departments, and yet no one can tell how they disappear. Persons of very genteel appearance are the only visiters noticed about, and such as would not generally create the suspicion of being dishonest. It was mot long since that a lad, of highly respectable parents, was caught steal- ing @ valuable article from the nautical depart- ment. On another occasion a young man, ef lite- rary pretensions, concerned in one of the city journals, was detected stealing a pair of gloves. He was taken before the Mayor, who only liberated him frem custody, on bail being given. The affair was kept almost a pro found secret by the authorities, the party accused fearing & public exposure. Why this was done we know not, but think somewhat differently on such matters, and consider that persons of reputed respectability, who take advan- tage of their professional capacity to pilfer articles, there- by throwing @ suspicion on the integrity of those persons in whose charge amd custody such articles are placed, should be expored and held up as an example to deter others from committing the same bind of depredations. For all such chaps as we have just alluded to, the de- tective force are very useful, the rogue watches the uni- formed policeman, and while the officer turns his back he manages to secrete some article of value about his person, but before he proceeds many paces, a very gentlemanly dresred individual taps hiw on the shoulder and requests his personal attendance at the captain’s office. At first the rogue feels indignant, and places himself on his dig- nity, wondering how » maa dare to address him in that manuer without the apparent authority, However, it is of no use for the offender to attempt to Cisguise himvelf, the detective saw the theft committed, and the corroborative fact of fisding the property ia the possession of the accused completes the charge. It is in this way that wany persons heretofore beyond suspicion heve been detected in acts of dishonesty. We therefore caution the lighttingered gentry to beware of the detec- tives ut the Crystal Palace. City Intelligence. Metaxcnory Scicws or MR. Oliver, oF ge Onysrar, PALsck.—Mr, Oliver, who had the American department at the Crystal Palace under his charge, left home, sud- denly, on Monday last, since which time no trace of his whereabouts was ascertained, until yesterday afternoon his body was discovered in the woods at Harlema, whare it seems he had committed suicide by shooting himself. The Coroner has béen notified, and will hold an inquest on the body. Deceased was about thirty years of age, and & single man.
