The result of fhe New York election seems to have struck the free soilere all aback, and a general apprehension prevails that something awful—they know not what—most probably a pelittcal earthquake, shortly after the assembling of Congress—will turn up. It ie stated that the President disapproves of the course ef the Union, in vilifying leading national demo- erate, and that his confidence in Secretary Marcy has lately become much impaired. The preparation ef the President’s annual message occupies the at- tention of the Executive and the Cabinet, and it is predicted that the document will be particularly de- cisive on the subject of our toreign affairs. Senator Gwin has had an interview with the President, in which the project of a railroad was discuased. It is anticipated that strong recommendations will be made to Congress favorable to the annexation of the Bandwich Islands. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, is said to be the favorite of the Cass democrats for the Speaker- ship, and Forney for Clerk. Mr. Collins, of the Li- verpool steamship line, had arrived in Washington ‘The Commission on goverament arsenals had also _ arrived. Important intelligence bas been receivell from China. It is stated, on the authority of the Ameri- ean Secretary of Legation at Canton, that the Em- peror had fled to Gehal, in Tartary, leaving one of his brothers in charge of the empire, and that the gent forces were within six days march of eking. Our correspondent at Havana, in a letter dated 3d inst., states that the British Consul-Genera! had Officially advised General Canedo of the landing of $wo more cargoes of slaves, numbering five hundred, on the south side of the island. It isalsostated that & fleet of about ten vessels is waiting on the coas* of Brazil fora favorable opportunity to cross over t> the African coast for cargoes, and these shipments are intended for the island of Cuba. Thus, it will be ween, are treaty stipulations continually evaded. ‘The slave schooner Maria, not long since fitted out in Cuba, is reported to have been captured bya British cruiser, off Kilongo, on the African coast. Orders bad been received from Madrid to suspend operations on all the public works, the home govern- ment being sadly in want of funds. Notwithstand ing, the Captain-General bas directed that the tele- graph from Havana to Batamano be immediately completed, in order that his administration—now drawing to a close—may derive ali the credit of the undertaking. 4 We give else vhere in to-day’s paper, an interesting letter from a gentleman connected with the explor- ing snd surveying expedition under command of Commander Ringgold, which left Hampton Roads on the 14th of June last, dated at Simon’s Bay, Cape wf Good Hope, September 20. The scientific obser- vations and experiments bad been successfully pro secuted, aud charts of the track sailed were in course of preparation for publication. The vessels of the squadron had proved admirably adapted for the pur pores of ihe exp-dition. The greatest freshet known for twenty years has taken place on the Pencbscot river. The village of Kenduskeag was flooded, and the destruction of pro perty is immense. The trial of De Corn for the murder of Eugene Melville, was continged in the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday. This case has produced a grea: deal of interest with our French population, many of whom were present. Our readers are referred to another portion of this paper for the decisions of Judges Mitchell and Morris, as to the legality of the contract made by the corpo- ration of this city with Messrs Russ & Reid, for paving the Bowéry with Rass pavement. Hon. Charles G. Atherton, U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, died at Manchester, N, H., yes terday. The New Hampshire Whig State Convention met at Concord yesterday, snd uomineted Hon. James Beil, of Guilford, for Governor, and William Whit- tle, of Manchester, for Railroad Commissioner. bk The steamship Arabia, with three days later news from Enrope, will probally arrive today. The Boord of Alinshouse Governors bas appointed Te. Wm. W. Sanger, resident physician at ia k well’s island, and Mr. John Gray, keeper of ths City prison. We have to record today, very large addition to the deaths of passengers in our emigrant ships The packet ship Awerican Union, which arrived yesterday, left Liverpool with 629 passengers, out of which number no less than seventy-five, besides sive of the crew, died on the passage of cholera, The packet ship Centurion, alao arrived yesterday from Liverpool, out of 374 passengers, lost 15, and the rhip Steiesmen, arrived yesterday from Antwerp, wot of 272 passengers just 26, sapposed vy the same gece, This makes a wal of 113 deans im three ‘Be | canvassing the votes this aftern'on at three o’clock. ‘Vessels, out 1,274 souls, exclusive of the seamen of the American Union.

The | soil passed over is represented as very fertile, with plenty of fine oak timber, and everywhere water of the purest kind. On the Colerado, the general met a company who had explored the re- mainder of the route, and reported it every way adapted to the purposes of a railroad. The expedi- tion met several bands of Indians, who were perfec!- ly friendly. The State election in Massachusetts has resulted in the complete triumph of the whigs. The new constitution—the vote was on the enacting clause, | carrying all the proposed reforms with it—has been rejected by the very decided majority of five thousaud at least. In another column may be found further particu: lars of the ravages of the storm of Sunday night. John A. Dix yesteséay surrendered to his su:es- sor—John J. Cisco—the moveables, et cetera, of the United States Assistant Treasurer's office in this othe ship Western World, latety cast away on Squan Beach, went to pieces on Sunday night.

Progress of the National Party. It cannot too often be repeated or dinned into the ears of the people, that the administration appointed this State umpire between it and its assailants and the award has been directly against it. Marcy, Guthrie and Davis may be fairly likened to three spectators of a fight, who, fired by natura! pugnacity or other causes, leap into the arena, take sides with one or the other of the combatants, and stake their own fate on the issue. The wisdom of the proceed- ing may be fairly questioned. Their interfer- ence in the quarrel was not only unnecessary, but was wholly without precedent, and was, moreover, an unprovoked and unwarrantable encroachment on the independent rights of this State. They did interfere, however, and that in the the most unequivocal and emphatic man- ner. All sorts of influences they brought to bear—Custom House tyranny and Post Office intrigue, as well as the more direct agency of dictatorial letters. Marcy patted the Germans on the head; Davis endorsed Van Buren; and Guthrie decapitated Bronson, and bluntly vindicated the free soilers’ rights to a share of the spoils. This abandonment of their neutral position and espousal of a cause in our local quarrel, they ventured upon at a time when ordinary observers would have confi- dently predicted that victory would remain with the party they undertook to support. Everything seemed to foreshadow a triumph for the faction popularly known as soft shells. Everybody said that the administration had chosen the strongest side. The whigs, by their own confession, were defunct asa party. The bard shells. or national democrats,.were hardly born. They had no political organization, had taken no serious steps towards carrying onacampaigu. Even Seward, stunned by the blow of November, 1852, had not sufficiently recovered to muster his forees and marshal them in battle array. Tt was under this extraordioary combination of favorable circumstances that the adminis- tration entered the lists, and became the spon- sor of Van Buren and Rynders, of the Syracuse bullies, and the unrepentant free soilers. The result is notorious. Without organization, without any of the ordisary means which in- fluence our elections, without any ally but the justice of their cause, the opponents of the ad- ministration were completely victorious. To their utter astonishment the whigs carried the day. Next to them stood the men who had refused to sustain a corrupt government in using the federal spoils to foster treason. Tak- ing the vote for Secretary of State as the standard, the three parties in New York may be thus roughly estimated :— Seward whigs,........... pees ees 190 000 Hard shells, or national democrats........ 100,000 Soft shells (free soilers, and friends of the administration)... . 95,000 And this estimate is liberal towards the latter party. This is the result of the interference of Marey, Davis and Guthrie in our elections, This isthe verdict which the people of New York have pronounced on the course of the government. Could any possible form of con- demnation be more pointed or more severe? The meeting of the Democratic Republican General Committee, held on Monday evening. was ihe natural consequence of this event. We trust that all have read the eloquent remarks there made hy Mr. Cutting. They may be fairly taken as an expression of the feelings of every honest man throughout the country. Thou- sands upon thousands, like Mr. Cutting, feel that “they could not look an honest man in the day as one of the incipient steps towards the formation of such a purty as this. We lock upon Mr. Cutting’s speech as a premonitory symptom of the final disruption of the old party ties ; and we sincerely rejoice to find that there are stil! mea among us who have not been so demoralized by long service in party harness that they cannot discriminate between what is abstractly right and what custom has almost li- censed in our midst. There is plenty of hope for us so long as such men exist, and speak their mind openly. Marcy may intrigue, and keep a sort of broker's office for men’s souls: Guthrie may bully and bluster, and attempt to thrust treason down men’s throats by closing the Treasury coffers to the loyal; Davis may prevaricate, and ingenuously confess his igno- rance of abstract principles, and his willingness to be bound for ever by the laws passed at the spoils council at Baltimore ; but so long as there are citizens among us who will stand up and say that there is something higher in poli- tics than the hope of sordid gain—that coalitions of men of opposite principles, for the sake of spoils, are immoral, disgraceful, and inevitably fatal to the country they govern—that it is an undying shame to any party to owe its triumphs to the vulgar scurrility of such speakers as Rynders and Van Buren, or the crew of fight- ing men they command—we have still hopes that the government of the United States will not always be a theme of scorn abroad anda subject of sorrow and shaine to all good men at home. The Cabinct on the New York Election. The result of the recent election in this State, came like a thunderbolt upon the Presi- dent and his Cabinet. In vulgar but very ex- pressive language, it may be described as a complete stunner. For some days after the event was known throughout the country, and aiter the material returns had appeared jn the Heratp, the administration organ remained utterly dumb and quiescent on the disagree- able subject. It required some time to recover from the shock. But we see it has at length broken silence, and come out with a melancho- ly homily on the rude check which the Cabinet has lately received in this State. The Wash- ington Union of Sunday contains a curiously solemn paragraph on the subject of the New York election, and of the defeat of all the con- temptible intrigues and menceuvres of the ad- ministration in the imbroglio of the New York democracy. The article appears to have been concocted by Marcy, with the aseistance of Collector Redfield and John Van Buren, and exhibits a very ridiculous effort to point the moral of the late popular manifestation against the undignified course of the government. In fact, it is a tissue of misrepresentations, absur- dities, and impertinences, from beginning to end. Let us briefly examine and comment upon this manifesto. The article in the Union sets out with the confession that it is unnecessary to give the conflicting details of the election in New York, as they did not enable the result to be known with accuracy. Afflicting would certainly be a better word to characterize the returns, inas- much as they were unmistakeably adverse'to the mean policy of the spoils system cabinet. and contained a sermon of bitter truth, from which we trust the country at large will ere long derive benefit. The Union, however. in- dulges in the consoling reflection that the tri- umph of the whig party in this State owes its origin to the Syracuse Convention, and says that no one who had given any attention to the proceedings there could reasonably calculate upon any other result. How very candid and philosophical such a statement is! It is certainly worthy of the organ of the administration. But Mr. Marcy. or whoever the writer of the article may be. takes care to keep entirely out of view the origin of that split in the democratic party which openly manifested itself in Syracuse. It would be necessary to go back to the first causes of this imbroglio to torm a logical chain of argument in proof of the origin which led to such a catastrophe. And what were they? They were that exhibition of tree soil tenden- cies which President Pierce first showed in the construction of his Cabinet, and which that Cabinet afterwards developed, in allits ominous deformity, in their subsequent career. They were the avowal by the admi- nistration of those corrupt spoils system prin- ciples which have brought upon it thescorn of all right minded and patriotic men. They were the attempt to imitate and establish a system of government without principles. and whose sole foundation was to consist in the dis- tribution of the spoils. In short, the breaking up of the democratic party was originated and effected by the unfortunate selection of the Cabinet, and by the improper appointments made for foreign missions and for government posts at home. The Cabinet was constructed and the appointments were bestowed without any regard to sound principles, and in opposition to the sentiment of the country. in favor of the compromise measures. which were at the very bottom of General Pierce’s own triumph in 1852, Instead of making that sentiment and those principles the basis of an administration face and remain quiet and see this system of corruption going on, by Which men“of opposite principles continued to draw together by the mere influence of the spoils of government.” Thousands upon thousands rejoice with him at having “got rid of the Fowlers and the Cocbranes, the Rynders, Van Burens and Ir- vings, the fighters and boxers, and other misera- ble creatures” who have degraded the politics of this State. Thousands upon thousands look forward with hope and yearning for the estab- lishment of a new party, based upon the coa- stitution and the compromise, and purified from the stains which now defile the names of the old factions. They are not for this man or for that; they throw to the winds all trumpery platforms established by herds of hungry office ceekers ae a mere means of grasping pelf and plunder. They see clearly enough that there is but one principle worth contending for ia this country, at this time—the compromise of 1850 ; ind but two parties—-those who honestly wish to carry out the spirit of that great measure, aud those who openly or secretly desire to d They know that all other varieties of fu and nomenclature are mere delusions, con’ for corrupt ends with regard to the public spoils. Such men as these will not long remat cont to be classed as sectional exis! of y of the ae parties, leaders of the meeting on Monday, they tirely new party, on principles that admit ofno controversy, and with the purpose, high and holy as ever patriot cherished, of preserving the Union intact, and defeating the schemes of every fresh gang of agitators. We sogard tue resolutions adopted on Moa which would commend itself to the support and approbation of all patriotic citizens, General Pierce abnegated them, and called into his counsels and into his favor representatives of factions from all sides of the country, and with these materials attempted to construct a Cabinet which has seriously compromised him with the country, has brought the party into dissension and defeat, and has awakened against them an all but universal outery of re- probation. These causes, and not the Syracuse Convention—which was only in itselfan effect— are the origin of the utter defeat which the de- mocratic party has sustained in the election of yesterday week. The Union then goes on. in this very curious paragraph under consideration, to foreshadow what should be done to avert the consumma- tion ofthe evil. It thinks that the result ofthe election should teach the democracy of New York a lesson of wisdom for the future. We go further—we think that it should, in the first in- stance, be pondered on and calmly and sen- tibly considered at the White House. The Pre- sident should read ( areproof of the unwise aud frtal poliey which he adopted in the con- strrction of the Cabinet; and the free soil mem- bere of the administration should recognise init the fiuit of their unprincipled and demoralizing course. We look, says the Union, to the best course for avoiding so disastrous 1 defeat In fature. And what is thir best course? Uhe Unior cays it isinconcart and inion; brit docs not show how that concert is to be effected. We say vuat the injary inflicted on the cemvcratic cause in this State can only be obviated by carrying out reeolutely the principles 0: which General force was elevated to office. But to do this, the present Cabinet must be dissolved—those who interfered in the recent election must be turned out of the position which they failed to respect, and a new set of men, possessed of no- bler principles and aiming at higher objects, must be substituted for them. Nothing else can save the administration or save the party. There is no concert in policy, no uniformity in sentiment between them. The attempt to re- construct the Van Buren free soil party here, has been the destruction of the Cabinet, and the signal fuilure which they sustained in- volves their own official annihilation. The wise counsels which the Union so flippantly hopes may hereafter prevail in this State, must first exercise their effect on the government at Wash- ington. And these wise counsels would most decidedly indicate, as the first and prime neces- sity. the removal of the Cabinet. If they have not the grace to understand the rebuff they have received from the democracy of this State, and to divest themselves, of their own accord, of their admisistrative functions, then President Pierce, it he would redeem his character, and not suffer it to be irretrievably ruined, must intimate to them that their services in that ca- pacity are no longer needed by him or the country. This is the plain remedy, and the only one which can be effectual. Let President Pierce hear our veice and the voice of the coun- try. and shake off from him the bad influences and bad counsellors with which he is beset. Let them not “stand upon the order of their going. but go at once.” Rome 1s New Yorx—-Tue Freeman's Jour- NAL AND THE CrusapeR.——For a long time past we bave had in this city a newspaper—first weekly and then semi-weekly—called the Free- man’s Journal, which may be considered to be the organ of Rome, under the Pope, or of New York under Archbishop Hughes, in maintaining all the dogmas of the middle ages, all the phi- losophy of the propaganda, and all the miracles of all the saints in the Roman calendar, from the time of John the Baptist down to the recent miracle in France, in the appearance of the Holy Mother. This journal was conducted by a de- voted Catholic convert by the name of McMas- ters, and generally, too, with a great deal of spirit and talent, notwithstanding that it does maintain some very queer old doctrines. How- ever, it has had the field to itself, and has been beating about the air, in the domains of politics and religion, in pretty much the same way that Don Quixotte went out in search of adven- tures, attended by Sancho Panza. At last we perceive that a regular combatant has appeared in the field—an organ of » young Italy,” under the name of the Crusader, and conducted by Secchi de Casali. The first number of this jour- nal appeared the other day, full of life, spirit, intellect. talent, and modern philosophy, with very little credulity of any kind derived from the middle ages. The two journals may be considered the bane and antidote to each other. and in that respect they fill up a vacuum in the amusing weekly journalism of New York. The Holy Fathers at Rome. all the Cardinals, the Society of Jesus, the Propaganda, the Archbishop of New York, and all the Catholic institutions of the city, are taken in charge by the very reverend McMas- ters, of the Journal ; while young Italy, Father Gavazzi, Mazzini, the remains of the Roman republic and the hopes of the Italians in the peninsula, are supported, elucidated, illustrated and enforced, with great skill and adroitness, by the paladin of the Crusader. We hope, there- fore, that the daily and weekly journals of the day will form a ring and allow the bull-fight to go on between the two combatants in question. McMasters has a hard head, and Secchi de Ca- sali. when the Popes are concerned, has a hard heart and “no compunctious visitings of con: science.” We expect to see great fun in the con- flict® between these organs of old and young Italy—the Holy Father on one side, and Father Gavazzi and the republic on the other. Ote But1’s Conony in PENNSYLVANIA, AND Musto 1s GeneraL.--We give elsewhere in our columns, a very curious, but, we believe, a re- liable communication from a member of the new colony of Ole Bull, in Pensylvania, whose posi- tion and knowledge of the facts warrant the in- ference that the statements made are correct and undoubted. We believe they come from one of the medical men of the community which has been formed on the property in question. One thing appears evident on the representations made by our correspondent—-that however meri- torious and active Ole Bull may be in getting up a concert, he does not exhibit an equal amount of talent in getting up acolony. The great error of genims is, when it succeeds in one pursuit, that it imagines that special intelli- gence is universal in its application. Ole Bull, when he first made his appearance in this country as an artist, had awarded to him great applause, great popularity, and great attention. But it seems he was not satisfied with the repu- “tation acquired as an artist--he must needs seek all sorts of admiration---personal, intellec- tucl, and historical. He must needs be a great republican, a prodigious patriot. the father of a new colony, the rival of De Soto, the compecr of Washington. the wonder of the world. The outside ambition, indulged in beyond the limits of his talent as an artist. has almost ruined his standing before the world, and even affected his stil] undoubted reputation as a violinist and a musician. All this, however, only shows the wisdom of the vulgar adage, “that every shoe- maker should stick to his last,” Movements ty Avstratra.—-We call atten- tion to the correspondence and documents which we publish in our columns to-day. from the Australian continent. They will be found to be generally of an instructive and interesting character. The most important of the subjects referred to in them is that of the new movement set on foot in Melbourne, with the object of inducing the colonial govern- ment to establish, and the home government to co-operate in maintaining, three lines of postal communication between that port and Lurope —one by way of the Cape of Good Hope, an- other by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and the third by way of Singapore or some other port of the East Indies The mercantile com- munity of Melbourne held a public meeting there in August, and adopted ur resolu- tions, and an address to the Licut. Governor of the province, in favor of ibe project, both of which will be found published in our columus to-day. The people of Australia are certainly not under very strong obligations to the parent conntry for the facilities vouchsafed to | them in that respect, inasmuch as the regalar mail commmnications thence to Europe are at present limited to six in the year—the same arrangement as that in force before the dis- covery of the gold in those regions; and it is even in contemplation by the London Post Office to annul this arrangement, and send out Meeting of the Ten Governors.
