AL PAINTING ror rue ONAL ACADEMY OF ———— Bew York, Wednesday, November 9, 1853. The News. ‘The city clection returns are a hodge-podge. It was ‘mot enough that we should have half a dozen tickets; almost every voter added to the confusion, by scratzh- ing off names and polling a mixed ticket. With what returns We have received, we are enabled to make outs few tabular statements, that are probably cor- ect as far as they go. They exhibit some curions results, and show the genera! breaking up of parties. It does not appear that a single member of the old or resent common council is chosen for another term; he returns are not full, but the chancesare decidedly against the re-clestion of a single man. ‘The returns from the interior come in very slowly. Osney indicate the trivmph of the Sewardites. The national democratic vote swells up to a high figure— higher than was anticipated by many of that section ofthe party. If that ticket rans through the State in the same way, it will receive a very large vote. But look at the returns on the first page, and then wait for the next edition. Elections were also held yesterday in Wisconsin and New Jersey, but up to three o'clock this morn- ‘ing no returns had been received from the former State, and those from the latter were too meagre to give any very definite jdea of the result. The pros- spect, however, is, that Rodman M. Price, the demo cratic nominee, has been cle2ted Governor. . The election which took place for Congressmen and State and local officers, in Louisiana, last Mon- day, is reported to have resulted in a complete tri- umph for the democrats at New Orleans, The Con- gressional delegation will probably stand two whizs and two democrats, being a gaia of one for the latter party. Nothing has as yet been heard relative to the con. test for Congressmen and State oflicers in Mississi ‘The polls were opened on Tnesday and closed last evening. The democratic committee of Essex county, Mass, Dave issued a document, in which General Cashing’s edict is denounced in the strongest language that can beapplied. It declares Mr. C.’s letter to be a sharu Jess attempt, by “a renegade to his professed prin pies, his country, and his God,” to violate and destroy Mhe sacred principles of democracy. In conclnsion, ‘She commiitee recommend democrats to vote for the friends of State reform and thus manifest their con- Sempt for traitors and demagogues. We elsewhere publish @ letter from one of our Washington correspondents, which contains many interesting items concerning the movements of the Politicians, the position of the administration with regard to certain important questions of the day, &e. By telegraph we learn that Senators Cass and Dovglas will both take an early opportunity after the assembling of Congress, to denounce the asser- tions of their free coil proclivities as grozs slander. The President, accompanied by several distinguished gentlemen, proceeded to Great Falls yesterday, for the purpose of participating in the ceremony of breaking ground for the Washington and George- town aqueduct. Tho introduction of pure water will be bailed with joy by the econsmical portion of the temporary scjourners at that place, most of whom have hitherto Geemed it necessary to mix liquor with their water, in order to avoid the deleterious effects of the latter—more particularly so, now that the hotel snd boarding house proprietors are raisiag their prices to a pretty high figure. The amount of drafts registered at Weshington on Monday for the Tre sury Department, was $57,372 44, and for the customs, $1,092 97. General Jose A. Paez has written a most spirited and patriotic address to the people of Venezuela, which we publish in eatenso this morning, The old chief replies, in the first portion of the document, to the personal attack made on him by Gregorio Mona- was in his proclamation to the “Nation,” under date of the 29th of August last, in which he charges Paez with being ‘deceptive and faithless to the constitu tion and bis own followers.’ The Generat answers this accusstion by an allusion to the record of bis seivices from the year 1810 to the present moment, # caustic review of the eifects of the domestic dynasty mule of the Monages brothers upoa Venezuela, and an ardent appeal to his countrymen to unite fur its over- ‘throw, 60 that the land of their birth may resume hor position before the nations of the earth aud among the Hispano-American republics, In this event, General Paez promises both materlal and physical eid, which he denies having afforded daring the iate disorganizing struggle, for the reason that it was not solicited. The paper is worthy of attentive perussl. Mr. O’Donohue, the Irish patriot, was no’ permit- ‘ted to proceed with # lecture before the Irish Social Association in Baltimore, last Mouday evening, in wonsequence of the violence of his denunciations. Snow fell for many hours jn Pottaville, Pa., yoa- terday. We also Jearn that it snowed in several other places in the interior of that State during the day. On referring to the commercial coluians, it will bo @bserved that stocks were stilliu a very unsettied condition yesterday, and at the first board the prices for some descriptions reseded. At the secoad board probsbly owing to the fact that no more failuros were nnoanced, there was a slight improvement mani fested. it is thought by some that the large staoun' of specie drawn from the sub treasury last week— over one million three hundred thonsand dollars— will have the effect of partially relieving the noney market; but when it is recollected that the houses end wen most deeply involved are scattered all over the country, and tat the suspension of one will eomealy Love a witeopomling elloob upon ob net my ob top vsiers, 4 mill pb pup! uch @ party would oeppect fhe be see: that this sum, evem should it be | placed at the dirct (spel of the cistressed, would go but a svert distance towards staying the | effects of the wi e-sprea! difficul’y it would be l'ke dividing a cherry avong a (oz-n hun:ry mouths. | But while oar finane'ers and com vercis! men are in so much trouble, the agricultarists—or, at least, | those who were sagacious enoug’ to retain their pro- | | duce until the proper moment, instead of selling it to speculators upon the rst offer—have been reaping a | bountiful reward for their industry. Now that most of them have disposed of their surplus productions, it is not improbable that there will soon be a mate- rial falling offin prices. Flour rather favored buyers yesterday, and provisions were somewhat cheaper. Cotton was steady, and that staple alone, perhaps, will continue at about its present rate. Yesterday being election day, there was no busi- ness transacted in the State courts‘of this city. The United States Cireuit Court met and adjoorned, and the U. S. District Court having entered a few returns of process, also adjourned for the day. In addition to a lengthy review of the World of Fashion in this city, our iaside pages contain the reply of Mr. Toombs to Secretary Dagjs; Communi- cation from Gen. Doff Green about ads; Politi- cal Affiirs in Mississippi, including Letters from Gen, Cass and Goy. Foote; Oregon and Canadizn | Correspondence; Imposition on American Vessels at Malaga; Lectures before the College of Pharmacy by Prof. Doremus, aud on the Poetry of the Bible by Dr. Raphal!; Commercial, Theatrical, and Miscella- neous News, &c. The Resalt of the Elec’ Sewaid Pa As will be seen by our telegraphic despatch- published in another column, the Seward whig ticket has been victorious throughout the State. The battle is decided ; the State which gave Pierce a majority of some twenty-seven thonsand one year ago, has now clearly ranged itself on the side of the most inveterate foe to the principles on which our President was elected. It matters little now whether the Van Buren or the Dickinson policy prevail among the democrats. The sceptre has departed from thera, and henceforth the rea! power in this State will be in the bands of William H. Seward. For the next three years he will wield a more extengive control over the affairs of New York | than any other statesman. No whig can rival | his sway ; his accustomed cunning will prevent breaches in his party, and consolidate the triumph of yesterday. It were futile to expect ‘a Ceesation of the strife which now cripples the democratic party. On neither side can any symptoms ofa desire for conciliation be dis- covered ; and while some few will adhere with the steadfastness of honest conviction to the great principles on which Pierce was elected, another large section, wen over by the glitier- ing bait of the spoils, will afford a vacillating support to the Cabinet, and, so far as principle is concerned, will waver between the thorough | paced fre: ism of the Van Burenites, and the more insidious treason of Marey aud Guth- rie. Others agais—and these will probably constitute the bulk of the old party—disgusted hy the reckless disregard of principle evinced by the Cabinet, will probably complete the general disorganization of the democracy by holding themselves entirely aloof from politics. Being thus invesied with supreme power in this State, William H. Seward will lose no time in taking active measures for the realization of his presidential scheme. He will be able to neutralize all the intrigues of his rivals, and to defeat, by his influence, the prospects of amy mar whose name shall be mentioned ia New York for the Presidency of 1856. In this task he will receive valuable support from the pre- sent administration. Not only will they succeed in spreading disgust and indifference among a large claré which would otherwise have been an uLcompromising foe to Seward, but they will infallibly, by their open and covert eucéur- ‘viumph of the agement of free soilism, exercise a potent influ- ence in swelli he ranks of bis supporters. Those among the Secretaries who might be ex- pected, as democrats, to range themselves | among hie opponents, will, long befere the ac- have disabled themselves, dd want of principle, from | achieving any practical results for the party. On the other band, the news of this Seward | victory will give new life and vigor to the abo- hout the country. The free soilers of Massachusetts and the other Eastern Stales, together with the rank abolitionists of New York and Ohio, will revive at once to cou- e ond activity. Fe ty will charac- | terize their movem ; and we cannot doubt that organizations of the most extensive and | determined character will at once be formed thronghout the North. All who have been Seward’s supporters throughout his career, all | who opposed the Compromise measures, all who bate the South, and all who love the administration, will, before many month? elapse, be regularly enrolled in a new faction,” whose aim and pu it will be to make Wil- liam H. Seward the ident of the United Sta Ad the aour we write, a private | correspondence has doubtless alrealy been commenced with a view to the arrangement of | prelimi H very lous enemy to the constitution is eager to distinguish himself by some act of treason to his couutry and friend- ship for Seward. A very short while will elapse before the newspaper organs of the new party—the Times and Tribune of this city, j all these advantage | shareholders and the Albany Evening Journal—will break ground for their chiefand master. One of the number will probably continue for some time to do double duty, for the sdministration and for Seward; but the former will soon be drop- ped, and the Seward flag boldly hoisted alone, With ench a prospect before us—and we do not think we have exaggerated it—the mo- mentous inquiry will muggest itself to the mind of every honest man—What must we do to save the country and the Union? Sober thought can dictate but one conrse, Mears muat be taken by ali who etill love the Union, to organize a new political party. Both of the old ones are effete. Treason impregnates their life-blood. Seward on the one eide and Marcy on the other, are equally hostile to the constit To substitute other men of like standing end prinoiples would be to protract und erabitter the disease. Both parties have vnd the pubite confidence, and voth mast be unfliachingly abendoned. Anew one must be formed on their wreck new one, not resting on a trampery platform, organized by a handful of greedy eking politi- cians, but firmly auch great rock of the constitution and the compromise. Lt wonld be the duty of such @ party to adopt measures for establishing » closer and firmer anion bs tween the North and the South; and, for the purpose of consolidating the bonds which aow them, and strengthening the elemeats of iraternity which ought to exist besween all the States of this republic, to have resolutious in- troduced into Cougress, carrying out practi- cally the aim and intent of the immor- tal work of Clay, Calhoun, and Webster. ceased to com for the annexation of the Sandwich Islands, which we are told the administration intend to propose. It would take strong ground at once in favor of the division of California and Texas, and the addition of two new slave States to the South. It would likewise insist on the intro- duction of slave labor—the only one suited to the meridian—into the territory of Nebraska. Such a party, so constituted. and giving by its conduct in respect to these measurcs an ear- nest of the loyalty of its intentions and its hon- esty to the South, would command the adher- ence of every true hearted man. and would bat fle the intrigues of all the Northern agitators. Tue Paciric Bussix.—Now that the existing “fancies” are under water, and nobody makes money cut of them but the “bears,” it is grati- fying to find that the “bulls” are going to have a chanee with a new stoek, and one well worthy of them. Everybody will see at once that we allude to the new Pacific Railroad Com- pany, a report of whose proceedings we pub- lished on Sunday. We -care not to say how many millions of stoek are to be issued, nor how many of them—Mr. A—who is worth, in round numbers, $5,000—or Mr. B—who is worth nothing—kave liberally subscribed. Sutfiice it to say that enough stock will be issued to sup- plant Erie, Hudson River, Nicaragua, and all ihe old fancies, and to make the eyes of the Wall street operators glisten with delight. Men of the highest re pute—in fact, ‘the most remarkable men in the eountry”—have flocked to the office of the company and entreated the secretary to spare them a couple of odd millions or so, A board of directors has been selected, compris- ing among its members nearly all the political operators of the day; and detachments of these functionaries have been despatched to the governors and legislatures of the various States throngh which the Jine will pass to beg for grants of land or money. A strong force will invest the lobbies of Congress as soon as it meets; and a heavy fire will be opened on the members, whose safety will only be insured by a grant of a few of the spare millions which Mr. Guthrie is squandering in the purchase of United States securities. Meanwhile, we may safely rely on seeing Pacific railroad stock freely quoted at the broker’s board; an “extraordinary pressure in the money mar- ket,” “unforeseen demands upon my means,” “unexpected calls upon other stocks,” and other distressing reasons, will oblige a few of the disinterested and enterprising men who are now subsoribing for millions to dispose of “small lots” of their scrip. An ungrateful public will buy it ata trifling premium. Bro- kers will buoy it up; newspapers will speak of the noble enterprise, so well worthy of the American nation; Senators and Congressmen will utter irresistible orations. showing that the Union had better be dissolved if a few millions cannot be epared for Mr. Robert J. Walker and his colleagues. Under the stimulus of these various sources of enconragement the bears will burn their fingers, and the bull side will. for a time be the popular one when Pacific railroad stock is mentioned. As soon as the change comes an astonished world will dis- cover that the gifted orator, the profound statesman, the selfeacrificing senator, who boasted of being ihe fathers of the scheme, have sold out, and now stand in the hooks as ihe possessors of half a dozen shares. A railroad to the Pacific would be a magaifi- cent national undertaking, and if we bad a hundred millions to throw away we should advoeate the experiment, Tt would nuite the two great sections of this country by aa indis- soluble bond, would build up California, and do more than twenty years emigration for the advancement of our Southwestern States. But ges, and still greater ones, would be possessed by a bridge across the At- lantic; and before we rush headlong into the former we must sce that it is a little more practicable than the latter. Now, to our thinking, a private company that undertakes to build a railroad three thousand miles long, from the Atlantic to the Pacific States of the ion, through a trackless desert, inhabited by wild beasts, and Indians as wild as they, is nog doing a more foolish thing than a man who should set about bridging the “big poud.” If any of our readers are Incky enough to be in railroads in these Northern States, they will not be inclined to deny that as an investment at first hand, rail- roads are about the worst that can be dis- covered. We do not suppose that one railroad out of twenty in the most populous and wealthy sections of the North is paying » fair dividend on the capital spent in building and working it; nothing but the incidental benefit they confer hy enhancing the vaiue of the property they intersect could justify their construction. If this be true of railroads in New York and Massachusetts, we need not point cut how much Jess profitable a line to California would be. It is the opinion of men sdmirably quali- fied to jndge that it could never pay its work- z | ing expenses; and nobody denies that the hun- Gred millions which would be required to build it would be hopelessly lost. A vast pro- portion of the travel and traffic between this and San Francisco would adbere to the sea route; and merchants in New York would gain » by sending their goods to Arkansas or Missouri, there to be forwarded to California, instead of pursuing their preseat itinerary. We paxs over the didlenity of keeping off the Indians and keeping the rails in repair. Enough has been said without these considera. tions to show in what light the now company ought to be regarded. Procress or Crom oy New Yors.—The Noe vember calendar in the Conrt of Oyer and Ter- miner presente a frightful record of the inerease of crime in this city. There are no less than twelve rourder cages inscribed upon it, involy- ing the life or death of eighteen persona, to say nothing of the large number of minor offences for which prisoners wre awaitiag trial. The principal primary cause of all this crime is bad brandy. The brandy manufactured ond dis- pented here is poisonous stuff. Thirty years ago men used to get drank aight after night with the utmost safety on brandy, and they could always get up next morning with porfect- ly sober heads, from the simple fuct that the brandy aad other liquors of that time were good. sut at the present day, when any people, high or low, rich or poor, indulge in any kind of spirit- uous liquors, they get disease and delirium ire: mens, and become mad, infariated, and im- bruted, The reason of it is that all the liquors sold here now—brandy, rum, whiskey, and every other kind—are adniterated with poison- ousstaff, Really, we are inclined to think that the Maine law would do some good after al), in putting astop to the entire commerce in such horrible beverdgos, at hy Wyeth Wale bv dake the experiment, Lerren From Hon, R. Toomas.—Robert ‘Toombs, of Georgia, has, in a letter published in another column, dealt the administration a blow irom which they will not so readily re- cover. He had, it seems, “ denounced Jefferson Davis as a disunionist, sitting in the councils of the nation,” in a recent speech ; and the Sec- retary of War, faithful to the characteristic tactics of the Cabinet, had, instead of attempt- ing to defend himself, indulged in a coarse abuse of his antagonist. Mr.Toombs vindicates himself in a way which we trast will be per- fectly satisfactory to Mr. Davis. Reiterating his former charges, he shows how the adminis” tration “ has taken traitors to its bosom, under the fraudulent pretext that they have been cleansed by being dipped into the filthy com- mop sewer of government patronage,” and asserts with natural vivacity that “ disloyalty tothe federal Union isa virtue compared to the servile basencss of consenting to and main- taining a coalition with the Buffalo free soil- ers.’ This shows what honest men at the South think of the present Cabinet. A few wecks more, and we will have similar language uttered in every Southern and in almost every Northern State ; end the upshot of the whole will be the orgavization of a new party, on a broad Union and compromise basis, which will scatter to the winds al! the present wretched political organizations. Tre Fasntons or New Yorx—Tim Wortp ov Fasnroy.—Those who take an interest in the fashionable world will find something farticu- larly worthy of their aitention in another part of to-day’s paper. New York is rapidly becom- ing to the New World what Paris is to the Old— the great centre of fashion. Already our la- dies, who make any pretensions to the title of fashionable. have commenced a war of rivalry with the European aristocracy. and if they do not surpass them in the style of dress they are certainly their equals in extravagance. In one year a lady of fashion living on the Fifth ave- nue will expend even or eight thousand dollars upon dress; and we are assured, upon the most reliable authority, that a walking or promenade dress, euch as is seen occasionally in Broadway, costs from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars. \ It is true that our ladics are still to a great extent dependent upon the Parisians for many of their improvements and the newest styles; but they sometimes follow the dictates of their own taste or fancy. Nearly every article of dress imported from the French ca- pital hes also to undergo many modifications to suit the more scrupulous and d Neate sensi- bilities of our fashionables, Myery scason brings with it changes of the greatest import- ance to those interested, and the inventive powers of the artistic are taxed to the utmost. Revolutions of the most vital importance to those who regard dress as the true criterion of character have taken place in the world of foshion centuries back, and in some instances even a difference in the cut of the beard has given rise to the most implacable war. We think it is Guizot who says that the history of France is the history of the beard, and we know that one nation has derived its name from the great length of their beards. Ladies, too, will be astonished to learn that the patehes which at one time were worn on the face were brought from Arabia; and gentlemen will be equally surprised to know that cravats were obtained from the Croats, one of the most savage people in the Austrian dominions. They will both find much in the article referred to that will repay perusal. It will be well for them to post themselves up in the history of the world of fashion. Syurtoms or Reverston Avioat.—The re- cent failures of banks and bankers in New York, Buffalo, and elsewhere, are very significant of the present etate of’commercial affairs and the condition of commercial credit generally throughout the land. These symptoms resemble very much those which marked the year 1836 immediately before the revulsion of 1837. Itis true that during the last few years, and up to the present day, we have received and do re- ceive vast quantities of gold from California; but we believe the system of credit in every shape—hbank credit, railroad bonds, private credit, merchants’ credit—is increasing with a greater rapidity—at a sort of geometrical pro- gression pace—than even the inercase of the importation of the precious metal from the Pa- cific, Yet it isa singular fact that every man who breaks now-a-days, and every bank that blows up, and every institution that gets into difficulties, is represented in the newspapers to be perfectly sound—able to pay all his or its obligations, and only happened to smash up in consequence of some little pin in the money market becoming loose. The persons-involved in the recent bank failure at Buffalo, it seems, and all those connected with it, are all solvent people, and able to pay more ithau their debts; and nothing seems to bring these people over on their knees except some little difficulty in the money market affecting their railroad bonds, Every general revulsion in commercial affairs during an extended system of credit, bloated in its dimensions, begins in thie way. The symp- toms, therefore, which we see before us are the same as,those which marked similar periods in ovr public commercial history, and we would advize every person to look ahead for breakers. Comrorr vor Tar Arriicrey—One of our cotemporaries in Wall street, the Journal of Commerce, isinastate of deep affliction. It seems that in some statistical article the other doy, we made a statement showing that the cir- culation of the Journal was somewhat less than that of the Courier and Enquirer. Henee. the grief and sorrow and deep affliction of the Jour- nal man. We are sorry to have produced so much misery in the world, particularly in Wall street, although that street causes much misery around thera, Let us correct it. According to recent givings out of the Journal on the sabject of the cir- culation of the Wall street papers, it was seen that the circulation of the Courier is something less than four thousand—say 3,999—and that the circulation of the Journal is some hundreds more than five thonsand—say 5,231L-—ineluding the Journal of Commerce, Junior, a8 they call it, which is rather a qneer designation. This is the statement of the Jotrnal. We call on our cotemporary, the Courier, for his counter state- ment, in order to asc »rtain the exact trnth of the matter. We are preparing a very curious statement of the history and circulation of the daily news- papers in three of the greatest cities in the civi- lized world--London, Paris, and New York. The materials as to London and Paris were collected during our recent visit to Harope, and we believe we have them exactly accurate and distinet. In respect to the daily journals ul dis oy We be glad bo posotes Misi inde of the pame description, aud 99 apcurate as i Elgsi=222-238 = ee: = = Fs 3 possible; and we therefore invite our cotempo- varies, large and small, dear aud cheap, respect- able and dirty, to send on to us their own esti- mate of their circulation and rates, and we will certainly endeavor todo every justice in our power, commensurate with philosophical inde- pendence and scientific accuracy. Hic Rare or Posrace.—It is calculated that the postage on the letter sent by the President of the United States to the Emperor of Japan, will have cost about $1,246,767 45, This is a rate of ocean postage which would seem to require some reduction, Where are the agitators of low postage now-a-days? Obituary. oA DEATH OF THE NBAPOLITAN MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. fo ] The Chevalier Rocse Martuseelli, who for many years past has represented the King of Naples in the United States, died in this city about half-paxt seven o'clock las evening, after a very short illness, About fourteen years ago the deceased chevalier was appointed by the government of Naples as Charged’ Affaires to this country. Immediately after his arrival he fixed his residence in New York, being only absent upon the occasion of bis offieis! vieits to Wathington. Owing to the high opinion which the King of Nuples entertained of the diplomatic talents of the chevalier, he recalled him » short time since to Naples and invested him with more extended official power, sending him upon an extra mission, having more immediate relation to the political and com- mercia] connections now existing between the Republic of America and the Kingdom of Naples. Thus honored, the chevalier landed in New York on Sunday, the Sist of October, in the Arctic, from Li- verpool. He almost immediately siekesed, and not- withstanding every exertion of the medical faculty, died, as above stated, Jast evening, at bis late resi- dence, No. 621 Broadway. The deceased minister was fifty-two years of age, and his death is much regretted by a very extended cirele of our fellow-citizens, to whom he was endeared by his many amiable qualities, and also by his official associates, of everf nation, residing in New York. The funeral procession will lenve his late residence to- morrow (Thursdey) moraing. and proceed to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where the religious ceremonies will be per- formed previous to the interment of the body. “city Intelligence, MAIL ROBBERIES—DETECTION OF THE ROBBERS. In the latter part of August last we published a ramor of the loss of a number of valuable packages and letters coming in the mai to and through the New York Post Office, but it was partially smoothed over by some of the city presses, with the explanation that the alarm grew out of the unusual absence of one of the night clerks, who afterwards made his appearance, having, as was said, been detained at home by sickness im his family, Al- though this explanation had the effect to quiet public curiosity, and thus afford a better opportunity for official investigation, it now appears that Mr, Holbrook, one of the special agents of the Post Office Departmont, has been quietly at work ever since to detect, if possible, the author of the robberies referred to. As the investigation progressed, his suspicions grew stronger and stronger against a night clerk or porter in the Post Office, by the name of Patrick Ryan, until he became fully satisfied of his guilt, The matter was Gnally brought toa head the day befere yesterday, by the srrest of Ryan, and the finding upon his person between one andtwo hundred dollars of the identical bank notes which were contained in a pack- 80 of $2,000, mailed at Middletown, Conn., for Philadel- phia, and which had certain private marks upon them. A quantity of bills answering the description of another lost package from the West, were also feund upon him, He subsequently made a full confession of his guilt, and Yielling to the demands for restitution, he yesterday morning proceeded, ia company with Poitiaster Fowler and the special agent, to a certain place in South Brook- lyn, where he at once prodused the proceeds of his de- predations. The sum recovered, we understand, amounts to $4,200, ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON Frag ComraNy.--The Franklin New York Association, whom we noticed yesterday as having left Washington on an intended visit to our city, arrived here yesterday afterncou.
