We publish, for the benefit of both candidates and voters, a list of the nominations made by the @ifferent parties, excluding, however, those for the Siate only, which have been already pub- lished. We have added to the list the School Commissioners, who are justly regarded by mapy as important officials, on account of the ' views held by Catholics on the question of education as pursued in our ward schoole. The division of the city into Council districts will have the effect of ren- dering the present election more complicated than guy tbat has hitherto been held in this city, and it will therefore be several days before correct returns ean be had. To-morrow morning we will doubtless be enabled to give a pretty accurate account, how- ever, of the way in which the elections in this city, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg, as well as the State generally, have gone. Voters would do well to read the instructions as to the manner of voting, and to pay particular attention to the character of the tick- ets placed in their hands, as there is a great deal of @eeeption going on. Last evening a mass meeting of the colored popu- Tation was held at the Church of the Meesiah, Woos- ter street—Mr. Jeremiah Powers in the chair. The object was to take action in reference to the election. The meeting unatimously decided in favor of the ticket of the “free democracy"’—but there was an ab- wence of all enthusiasm and excitement, and the meeting was extremely thin, showing how little in- terest the colored people really take in anything re- lating to abolitionism. “Alert,” our special Washington correspondent, to-day furniskes an outline of what it is understood will form a few of the leading features of the first annnal message of President Pierce. Among other important recommendations, will be the annexation of the Sandwich Islands, upon terms that it is thought will be satisfactory to the people of both eountries. Finding that the islanders are again ex: eeedingly anxious for admission into this Union, as has been already announced by the last arrival from California, Gea. Pierce is determined to throw open the doors and permit them to enter as soon as pos- sible. For a graphic resumé of the President's views with regard to the Pacific Railway project, the Garay and Sloo grants, Canadian reciprocity, the Modification of the tariff, the regeneration of the thavy, &o., see the despatch. Verily, the next seaston of Congress is destined to be a very busy one. One of our correspondents has written a very in- teresting letter relative to matters and things gene - Rally in Washington, to which the attention of the reader is directed. He makes the gratifying an- nouncement that Secretary Dobbin is perfecting arrangements for a thorough reformation and reor- ganization of our whole naval system, and will not rest satisfied until he finds that our maritime power is fully equal, if not superior, to any other in the ‘World.

As both are gen- tlemen of the chivalric echool, it is thought by some of the Southern papers that there will be an appeal to some other weapons than goose quills before the Gispute is finally eettled. Gen. Cushing’s epistle to the Massachusetts de- mocracy has had the effect of completely disorgan- izing the coalitionists in Middlesex county. There was a grand row and split among the national de- moerats and coalitionists, in their convention at Charlestown yesterday. Gov.

These improvements compre- hend—first, a new process in paper making; se- cond, a new system of type making, or stereo- typing; third, a mew principle in the eonstruc- tion of the printing press. All these improve- ments are in such a state of forwardness as to put their success beyond the possibility of donbt, while they present aggregate results which are perfectly astonishing, even in the present advanced state of practical science and skill. With the application of these three im- provements in the manufacture of newspapers we will be enabled actually to print and issue-— with lessexpenditure of capital than we now have toemploy —at least one hundred thousand sheets per hour, This miraculous issue of a hundred thousand cheets in an hour may appear imprac- ticable and impossible; but we have the strong- est confidence, derived from our own examina- tion of these improvements, that in the course of six or nine months we will be actually ena- abled to exhibit this piece of enterprise in the issue of the New York Heratp. It is no idle or visionary project. We can” not more particularly specify matters at the present moment; but take the statement we have already made as the basis of future opera- tions, and it will enable us to establish an ori- ginal journal on the plan of the Herarp—and on our own capital—not only at Baltimore, Phil- adelphia, and Boston, but also to establish sub- sidiary journals commensurate with the popula- tion of towns of such magnitude as Washington. Richmond, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Detroit, and Buffalo. We are convinced that we are only in the first stage of the developement of the news- paper press, as applied to the social, commer- cial, and political affairs of a great republic like that of the United States. During the last few years the independent journalism of this country has been an important element of the government, more powerful than it, and now beyond the reach of mere party factions and men. Ina few years more it will be the prin- cipal acting and living government of the land, and the legal government at Washington will merely register the decrees of the American mind as first promulgated by the independent journalism of the land. We are, therefore, only in the first stage of the great age of intellectual developement and of mechanical wonders. The Election—State of Parties. The prospect tat will meet the eye of every citizen who takes the trouble to visit the pol this day will resemble nothing that he has ever seen before; and nothing that he may ever see again. Confusion worse confounded awaits him if he attempts to discriminate between rival tickets and rival candidates. Old men, who have kept firmly anchored in their breasts, for a quarter ofa century or more, the fundamental principles of the great whig or the great demo- cratic party, will be lost in bewilderment to- day, if they venture to test the merits of the va! rious individuals who solicit their suffrage, ac- cording to the old standards of orthodoxy. For they will have to choose not only between whigs and democrats proper, but between mere whigs and temperance whigs, national demo- erats and free soil democrats, barnburners and hunkers, conservatives and reformers, Union men and abolitionists. Six independent tickets will be offered them at the polls; cach, per- haps, containing some name in which they for- merly placed confidence. To map out oa the chart of principle the exact extent of territory occupied by each of these various factions, would defy the skill of the most experienced political geographer. What each admits, or | what its rivals repudiate, the leaders them selves could hardly say. Their distinguishing cheracteristics are lost in chaos; one feature alone, which is common to all, is plainly visi- ble, and that is an unquenchable thirst for the spoils, Each has its organs and its orators; but neither the one nor the other has ever at- tempted to define the grounds of principle on which their respective parties take their stand. Manifestoes and speeches have not been wanting; but the whole collection is at present but a com- pendium of disgraceful personalities and pot- | house slang. They neither afford any clue to the political complexion of the party whence they emanate, nor furnish the slightest shadow of evidence of its claims to respectability. Abuse of private individuals, on grounds with which the world and politicians have no con- cern, is their staple ingredient. So generally has this practice been adopted, that while we find one set of speakers dragging to light the moral irregularities of the Cabinet nominees, we heargnother assailing, in coarsest terms, the private character and domestic habits of the President himself. At no period in our history has so complete a demoralization of men and parties been witnessed—at none have we had such reason to blush for our political icaflers—at none have good and honest men turned with snch loathing from the fetid pgol Provarte Trivmpa or THE Maine Law Movement.-—According to all appearances, and in the confusion of all the old factions in this State, itis highly probable that the friends of of party politics. temperance will carry a majority of both Whence does this srise?

As an experiment, therefore, on human nature and New York so- ciety. let the Maine Liquor law gointo operation for a brief period to see what it will bring forth. TrovuBLe AMONG THE Minstrers—ANOTHER Ficut.—We refer our readers this morning toa bulletin in another colimn, coming from what is called Wood’s Christy’s Minstrels, which lifts the curtain in reference to some historical mat- ters connected with these minstrels, and shows a great deal of the fire-eating propensity to in- dulge ina row. This bulletin may create some amusement among those who patronize such places. The first gun is fired by the new line; of course the old line must reply. All that we require of both lines of minstrels is to be short in their manifestoes, pungent. sensible. to the point, and, above all, let them drink nothing but cold water during the TOW 'The New, Picce at Wallack’s. The production of a new dramatic piece in one of our metropolitan theatres, is sufficieatly novel and unusual to excite a considerable degree of attention among the play-going portion of our community. To Mr, Wallack we owe it that such an interest has bien within the past week or two <licited among us. ‘The announcement that a new comedy, written by Mr. Dion Bourcicault, entitled “Love and Money,” was in preparation and soon to be profuced at Wailack’s, had the effect of stimulating public attention to an un- cusual degree, and aaa natural corsequence thereof we found that theatre last evening crowded to its utmost limits. The piece cannot, however, be said to be entirely new, since it was produced on tke London stage some three or four years ago, under the title of the ‘School for Schensing,” which it still retains as its duplicate, It had not very remarkable suecess there, owing to its too great prolixity; but the author has since pruned it Gown from a five act to a three act piece, so that the kame judgment which it may hers at first deserved can not now be fairly cited against it. We are bound to look at it now and estimate it on its.present merits. ‘The one idea which formed the basis of the plot in the writer's mind was to exhibit the-heartlessness of people of wealth, the scheming by which many succeed in de- ceiving the world into the recognition of their manifold merits, the arrogant conceit and mental imbecility of ultra‘fadhionable men, and to bring all this flimsy un- substantial, hollow mockery into contrast with the en- during reality of yirtne, honor, simple love, and high- mind@duess of character. He hac, therefore, constructed not one, but four phases of plot. First , there is the well- known cheracter of the heartless broken down spend- thrift, the honorable Claude Plantagenet (Mr. Brougham), who having exhausted all his own resources, has ¢om- smenced to hypothecate loanaon the prospects of the wealthy marriage which his beautiful daughter Helen (Miss‘Laure Keene), is sure to contract. This lady, how- ever, though entertaining the highest sense of her filial duties, happens also to entertain a warmer feeling towards young Craven Acton (Mr. Reynolds). But ono of our old familiar stage caricatures of English lordlings, delighting in faeh waistcoats, and trousers which are not made for siting in, and with the usual contempt for the true pronunciation of his 7’s, is introduced as the very man whose large fortune ia to save Mr. Plantagenet from ruin. This is Lord Fipley, afterwards the Duke of Bungay, (Mr. Lester). Of course it is not to be supposed that the charming Helen renders herself up a sacrifice to her father’s wishes and necessities without a strong solf- contest; but finally she overcomes her contempt for his lordship and her passion for Acton, so far as to accept bis offer. And poor Craven Acton—whose own fortune had been lavished in a course of splendid dissipation, and who is now almost a panper—is to be jilted. Thera is another good character intro‘ uced—that of a capitalist or stockjobber, who changes his patronymic of plair Joho Perkins into the high sounding appellative of the Mae Dunnum of Dunnum, (Mr. Walcot). This gentleman when he first comes into public life rents the hall door of Mrs. Sally Singlehoart, in Duke street—a lodging house keeper with whom the Plantagenets reside—and whose heart the MacDunnum has made an indelible impression on, The best character, however—and the only one showing any originality—is that of Job Sykes, alias X. Y,, QMr. Blake,) a usurer, who has accommodated both the Spendthrifts, amd who is unaccountably introduced ia almost every scene. The romance about Mr. Job is that in his early career he had, while » groom in an aristo- cratic family, eloped with one of the female scions there- of, who afterwards deserted him, returning to her rela- tives with her son. This son is young Acton. Job be- comes @ rich usurer, and furnishes means to his son—not cognizant of the relation he beara to the lender—to pre- cipitate his pecuniary ruin, the better to teach him the error of his ways. Job Sykes considers that Helen Plan- tagenet is s heartless coquette, and he strives to make young Acton participate in that belief. In the second act the honorable Claude finds himself caught in his own lure. A Mrs. Fox French, (Mrs. Blake,) who teaches aris- tocratic manners te young ladies, and has the reputation of being worth ten thousand pounds—although an execu- ticn for three thousand is impending over her—accepts his offered hand, under the impression of his unbounded wealth; and when they return from church bailiffs are in the house, and the unpleasant explanation of mutual fraud takes place. In the same act Lord Fipley is run awsy with bys rompish young lady, a pupil of Mrs. French’s; and Helen yields to the necessity of her father’s desperate circumstances, and consents to be the bride of some other mebleman. Then it is that in the last highly effective seene, where Helen, in the intensity of her emo- tion, falls into » sweon, that Sykes proclaims his pater- nity to Acton. The last act supposes the intervening of some two or three years, All the actors find themselves in Boulogne, Plantagenet and his wife are Iuxuriating ona huadred and fifty pounds a year. Lord Fiply is walked about on the jetty by his majestic ttle wife (Mrs. Stephens), and even the McDunnum of Dunnum, all his financial schemes having exploded, presents the sad spectacle of a capitalist out at elbows. But whatabout Helen? She had guarded with a woman’s corstancy her love to Acton; and from a legacy bequeathed to her, she had liquidated by degrees all her father’s debts. And old Job Sykes meets her by appointment on the Jetty to surrender to her the bonds, but brings aloug with him his son to onter {to the othor bond of matrimony, And so the @enmantint ends happily, as such things always ought to do, for even Sally Single- heart, who has suddenly becowe rich throngh the pro. ceeds of a hundred shares in a pavement speculation, n to her by the capitalist to liquiéate a bill of 8s, 64., js herself in Boulogue, and gives hor hand to John Per- kins, There is very little of originality in the plot. The characters, with a single exception, are all very old and rospected acquaintances. Nothing has been created, but out of the superabundant materials which the modern drama affords, a very gnter- taining piece has been con tracted. The dialogues are spirited and easy, and though some of the scenos sug gest to the critic the natural question of how such and such a character happened to be there, yet, on the whole, they are very effective. Miss Keene's acting was exqui- site and so true to nature that in some of the allecting parsages tears glistened in the eyes of a large portion of the female auditery. Blake rendered his part with all that plainnoss axd humor in which he excels, Brougham played the dissolute aristocrat with great success; and Lord Fipley could certainly find nothing in the acting of Mr. Lester which would not reflect credit on his lordship. And MacDunnum, of Dannum, was rendered with great spirit by Walcot. Reynolds’ reading of his part was good; but his gestures rather awkward and constrained. And so, indeed, all the accessory parts—that particularly of Rose Lawless, by Mrs, Stevens—-were admirably played. The piece was weil put upon the stage, and nothing omit- ted to ensure its success, Of that succes there can be no question, The audience seemed much {interested in the developement of the piece, and applauded at the end of the acts, After the curtain fell, the company wore called out to make their inal bow; and, on this oocasion, Mr. Lester announced that the leasee bad determined to present the new comedy thia and the other evenings of the week. A New Pensiog Agent at New Your—Van Progh Livingston Maq., (formerly U. 8. Charge to the Kepnouc of knoador,) Das oven ay ad Pension Agent at New York city, vice Merze 8. removed. Mr. Anderson at the Broadway. Atincular analogy exists betwoon Me. Anam appearance at the Broadway and the ovation V. Brooke at Drury Lane theatre, which now en wonder of the London press, The secret of this latter event lies in the fact that Mr. Brooke was talen ‘o Loa- don by an eminent pupil of Mr. Baraam. ‘This expert in- dividual, baving Inunched the Aztec Children, bamboozled the Times, and Barnumized half » dozen learned sovieties, felt competent to undertake the London public at large, and Mr. G. V. Brooke in particular, Barnum has disco- vered the ancient seoret of manufacturing idols, for he has only to take any piece of woo!, however wooden, and he instantly gives to it the attraction of worship, Need we add that Mr. Brooke is now the idol of all the’ tailors in London? Mr. Anderson, the other player in the game of success, owes a similar good fortung, not to skilful play, but to hazard. At the moment of bis appearance there happened to be an overflowing theatrical population in this city, Every theatre in New York, during the last month, bas been gorged to suffocation; and not only crowded audiences have inaugurated his return, bat if » loud show of hands were finally decisive of a popular election, his success would be beyond dispute. More than ones during the past fortnight we have revisited the Broadway theatre, and remarked on one occasion an improvement in Mr. Anderson. He remin@ed us of what he was. But the moment of reflection passed away, and on our next visit, alas! he was himself again. As we quitted the Dduilding, an old playgoer whispered mournfully—“I fear you are right. Mr. Anderson is a ‘has been.’ ”? “Well,”” we replied, “that is better than @ ‘never was.’ Unable, therefore. to revise our opinions, which we recorded regretfully, and having discharged the conscience of the critic, we feel bound to report that in the engagement which he has just concludea at the Broadway he has achieved an immense success. We use the word advisedly, for success, a8 wo have observed above, has changed its ancient signification; it is no longer a result, & thing of meritorieus achievement—it is simply an article of manufacture, or an accidental eir- cumstance. We should not feel at all surprised if it be- came an object of commerce. We have expressed our opinions the more freely upon Mr. Anderson from the con- viction that they could not penetrate the comprehensicn of the large lass on which his popularity is based.

He will win many golden dollars, but few gollen opinions, amongst us. From our continent he goes, it is said, to Australia, and there his triumph will be complete.

As we see the matter, we are in- clined to ‘he opision that no act of the Peruvian govern- ment declaring the river in its territories free to the ci tie zens of all nations with which she has treaties can be of any practical effect so long as the concurrence of Brazil is withheld, inasmuch as to reach Peru by the Amazon requires to pass over the whole extent of Brazil, And the act itvelf provides that persons availing themselves of its provisions must first obtain the sanction of Brazil. The government of the latter empire does not seem in- clined, however, to grant such facilities to foreigners— 40 that in fact the Peruvian decree is virtually a nullity, and of no real avail. A company in this city some time since sent out a ship there, with all‘the materials for con- structing one or more steambokts, but we apprehend they will be stopped in their project by this inimical sentiment of Brazil. We also find, as we stated 9 day or two since, that the ‘treaties concluded by General Urquiza with thé repre- sentatives of Ergland, France and the United States, have been protested against by the government of the Province of Buenos Ayres. $$$ $s Lars From Port au Prince—Tae Yxttow Fever.—The bark Clara Winsor, Capt.

Wastincron, Nov. 7, 1853, It is understood the President, in his menage, will come out pretty definitely upon the subject of the Pacific railroad and in such a manner as to satisfy the strictest construc- tionist. He has declared that the project as pressed in tha last Congress (Senator Gwinn’s bill,) never could have his sanction; and he has intimated pretty clearly that if such a bill ia passed by Congress during his Presid@hey it will have to overcome a veto before it becomes the law of tho land. This will be bad news for the New York Hunaiy’a five hundred thousand dollar subscription. ‘The President’s feelings upon the subject of internalim- provements by the general government may be gathered from the fact that he declares he sees no reason to change the views he formerly held on that question, and’ that his votes in Congrers at the time show truly his pre- sent position. At the same lime it i susceptible of proot that some months ago, before the Virginians kicked up a row with regard to the Pacific railroad and Cushing’s and Davis’s speeches, that that particular kind of railroad stock was not below par at the White Hoare, ‘The Garay and Tehuantepec grant will be endorsed by the administration, and the treaty negotiated by Judge Conkling, recognising the Sloo grant, will not be noticed in any way, on the ground that there was no authority given to Conkling to negotiate a treaty, and that the Sloa grant is a diplomatic fraud to get rid of the Garay grant. The Garay people have been smart eno. to secure the services of some of the President’s intimate friends, whilst Sloo only secured the interest of Mr. Arnold Har- ris, one of the proprietors of the Union. Sloo stock io down, The President will recommend a general system of reciprocal trade with the British Provinces, of all articles the growth and product of each country, and the ad- mission of fish, duty free, upon our fishermen being per- mitted to fish unrestrictedly on the coasts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The proposition of the English government to permit Colonial vessels to obtain American registers will not be opposed, but the suggestion to throw open the coasting trade of Culifornia will be rejected ag unconstitutional. A complete revision of the tariff will, it is con- fidently stated, be suggested; and with this view the Secretary of the Treasury is busily engaged in prepar- ing voluminous data, to show the consumption of the several articles of trade, and will suggest important modi- fications in all such articles as come umier the head of necessaries. It is yet doubtful whether any ma- terial modifications will be made in the duty on fron; but, notwithstanding the most urgent re- monstrances of the manufacturers of railroad irom in the United States, it is believed a repeal of tho duty on that particular article will be recommended. The Secretary of the Navy will recommend an entire revision of the personnd and materia of the navy, being fally impressed with the worthlessness of the existing ‘system. A retired list and an increase of pay to the , sailors, will form # prominent feature in his report. Perhaps the most important feature ef the message will be its allusion to the position of the Sandwich Islands, and the bold avowal of the importance of their being an- | nexed to the United States. Depend upon it the Presi- dent will take this ground, and it will, probably, be the imme¢iate cause of parties resolving themelves back to their original elements.
