VUGITIVE SLAVE DISTURBANCES. We alluded yesterday to the fact that a furitive fom service had been arrested in Boston, auc that ‘the slave had acknowledged that he had absconded and desired to return to his master, Col. Suti.e, of Alexandria, Va. Through the intervention of cer- tain parties the inquiry into the case was postponed by the Commissioner until to-day, and in the mean- time the abolitionists called a meeting at Faneuil Hall, which took place last evening. The well known leaders of the party harangued the people assembled in the usual treasonable and inflamma- tory style, and a resclution was adopted to attend at the court room when the examination took place. While this was going on in Faneuil Hall a@ large crowd of negroes collected @bout the court house, and an emissary was-despatched to the white men’s meeting, informing them that the building in which the slave was confined was about being stormed. Upon this the white men proceeded to the assistance of their bolder contederates. The mob at this time had reached several thousand, when a desperate assault was made upon the build- ing, & huge piece of timber serving the purpose of a battering ram in demolishing the door, Stones and other mi re freely used, and pistol shot But just as the storming party were on the point of forcing an entrance into the court house, a body of police rushed upon them, cap’ 7 the most active ringle: dispersing the mob and iles w estoring order. citementis intense, and fear are ente renewal of th to-d Al!

On the approach of the train the ears were attacked by the rioters, A negro man, a passenger, was discovered, but no fugitive; and the mob retired, evidently disappointed. CONGRESRION AL. ‘The Senate was not in session yesterday. In the House the Deticiency bill was under consideration. ‘The Senate’s amendments repealing the printing act, appropriating $771,000 for custom houses, also ap- propriating $131,500 for various marine hospitals, were rejected. The appropriation of half @ million dollars to continue the works to supply the capital with water was likewise rejected. The House stands adjourned til] Monday week. . ON THE INSIDE PAGES.

AFFAIRS IN THB CITY. The comm'ttee of New York shipowners and agents that visited Washington for the purpose of bringing their grievances, from the selzure of a large number of their vessels, under a forced con- struction of the passenger act, to the notice of the government, returned yesterday. We are informed by a leading member of the committee that the mission proved eminently satisfactory and success- ful. The delegation was received by the members of the government in 2 very courteous and cordial manner. The facts submitted in relation to the subject were taken into respectful consideration, and the views of the committee were in the main fully concurred in, The summary course pursued by the Surveyor of the Port meets with disapprov- al. It was admitted that there had been no de- partare by shipowners from previous and long-es- tablished custom, and that in determining upon a change of regulations due notice should have been given and time allowed vessels to conform to them. We presume, therefore, that the twenty-two ships libelled by the Surveyor will be instantly released. This is as it should be. An action for false imprisonment brought by Mr. Toulan, a clerk in the house of Arnold & Co., against Mr, Beker, one of the firm, resulted yes- terday in a verdict for plaintiff for $1,000. Judge Ingersoll delivered several decisions in admiralty. Three fugitive slaves were arrested on Thursday evening, and sent back to Iabor yesterday morning, before the abolitionists had time to come to the res- cue. The negroes acknowledged they had abacond- ed, and expressed a perfect willingness to return to their master. : A graphic account of the annular eclipse yester day is given in another columa. 8 Flour continued in good request yesterday, at im- proved prices. Wheat, corn and oats, were in fair demand at advancing rates. Cotton remained nn- changed. First Fruits of the Nebraska BU—Revoiation of Political Paxties—The Administration. The anti-slavery ogitators are defeated. The final passage of the Nebraska bill appears to have stunned and confounded our abolition or- gans. They are taken all aback, and are beat- ing about at random, as if sorely puzzled in whieh dixection to strike. The most virulent of the gang falls upon the leading South- ern whigs—Clayton, Padger, Pearce, Dawson, Toombs, and others—of the Senate; and it says, that ‘in respect to the Northern traitors who have co-operated in this deed, language fails to express our detestation of their infamous con- duct.’ And a mighty appeal is made to the people of the North, without “distinction of party,” {p enlist themselves “under one ban- ner” to resist “the invasion of free territory by theslaveholders of the South.” Direetly to this point, our leading oracle of Sewardism empha- tically declares, that ‘in view of the great issues before us, we throw all party considerations to the wixds.”” In connection with this declaration, the clos- ing scenes in the Senate of the United States upon the Nebraska bill, confirm the dissolution of the whig party. The violent controversy upon the floor, between Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, on the one side, and My. Toombs, of Georgia, and other Southern whigs who supported the bill, on the other side, was only terminated in the formal separation of Mr. Bell and the Mis- souri compromise whigs, even of the South, from those whigs co-operating in the repeal. Tt is difficult to read the closing debates upon the final ratidcation of the Mouse bill in the Senate, without arriving at the fixed conclasion that between the fice soil whigs of the North and the Nebraska whigs of the South there is now an impassable barrier, and that in the re-organi- zation of political parties for the campaign of °56, the mass of the whigs of the North will be arrayed in hostility against their late brethren of the South. There is no visible or probable contingency upon which they can ever be re- united—none in the world, Here, then, we have the first fruits of the Nebraska bill. it utterfy demolishes the last vestige of a chance for the re-construction of the materiels of the late great whig party upon the same general platform. The die is &st— the Rubicon is crossed; and the unanimous yote of the Northern whigs in Congress against the Nebraska bill, and the exciting closing scenes in the Senate, significantly warn us of the meaning of this ‘ all party considerations to the w monishes the Union men of the country of the speedy mustering, upon the basis of Sewardism, and the anti-slavery debris of the late North- ern whig party, of a grand combined anti-sla- very organization throughout the Northora States, in open hostility to the institutions of the South, until Southern slavery is put down, or until the Southern States are driven to se- cession—till the two sections of our present Union hurried into civil -war, and the iwo ss of our population are ex- asper into the horrors of another St. Domingo rebellion. new party pr confidential Such is the drift of the gramme as laid down by the m, which simply m with all the abominations of the day, order of soclety asd the ace of the Union The prenunciamento has gone forth whig party is extinct—its materials North o be made the nnck overshadowing abolition party, w servalive whigs of the South m the new democratic party tration, or to the devil, as soon Clayton, Badger, Pearce, Daw Crittenden, have been given their v ets; they are at liberty to go and wherever they please, an Y please. The controlling rd division of the late national whig party has formally excommunicated them in the lump, and in detail. They ave adrift upon the high seas, and legal prizes to such political wreckers as may choose to pick them up. The re-union be- tween the whigs of the North and the whigs of the South isnowntterly hopeless, The party is disbanded for good ond forever. The North- tobe made the basis of an over- hern anti-slavery party. But are the Southern whigs to go? When *. Webster was left alone in John Tyler's Cabi- eamlto gol” And we uiry in behalf of the Southera are they to ¢ ile the con- £0 over to to the admints- i answer this question? We venture the opinion that the section of the late whig party with ch Messrs, Clayton, Badger, associated, will hd a Union party, sal | have been reorganized upon Union, national | and homogeneous principles, and th roughly | cleansed of free soilere and free soilism, and fu- migated and made wholesome. Who knows? Have not those gentlemen indicated acted hand-in-hand with the constitutional de- | mecrats of Congress in the passage | of the Nebraska bill? And when the purified democratic party, (with or without the admi- nistration,) shall take its stand before the coun- try upon the constitutional platform of the | Nebraska bill, why should not the conserva- ' tive whigs of the South unite with this party? Are not all the old issues between the two par- ties settled, and have they not become, like the national bank, “obsolete ideas?’ The | eourseis clear. Old things are done away with, and a new order of things is at hand. We are less concerned about the Southern whigs, however, than about the Northern demo- crits. “What are they to do? The existing fraternity between the national men and those of the Buffalo Van Buren platform, except in the adhesion of the latter faction to the new platform of the national party, must be broken up. Benjamin F, Butler, the right hand man of Martin Van Buren, and a prominent leader of the administration soft shell faction, has given notice that upon the Nebraska platform he prefers Seward to Judge Douglas. Many others of the same clique no doubt entertain the same predilection. It becomes, therefore, an interesting question, under the reconstruc- tion of things decreed by the Nebraska bill, as to what policy will be pursued by the New York democracy. The two factions cannot stand where they are. The late act of Congress supersedes the organizations at Tammany Hall and Stuyvesant Institute. The revolution at Washington requires a revolution in New York, and it must follow. Of the thirty-three votes of New York in the House, there were only nine for the Nebraska bill, and they were given by Messrs. Cutting, Cumming, Westbrook, Rowe, Taylor, Tweed, Walbridge, Walker, and Walsh—some harl shelle, and some soft shells. Now, if they are willing to be sacrificed to the anti-slavery fac- tions, they have only to stand still and do nothing. But if ihey desire to make good their position, and to establish the New York democratic party upon a sound national foot- ing, they must act, and act at once. Let them first write an address to the people of New York, vindicating their course upon this Ne- braska question, and let all those democrats, hards and softs, desirous of the consolidation of the democratic party upon a staunch foun- dation in this city, and throughout the State, call public meetings, and proceed to reorganize the party upon the new platform so clearly indicated by the action of Congress. In this way the New York and the Northern demo- eracy may be saved. Otherwise, every North- thern man who voted for the Nebraska bill will be “crushed out,” and the democratic party in the North will become absolutely powerless under the pressure of the anti-slavery coa- lition. In this particular view, a grave and weighty responsibility attaches to the administration. From its free soil antecedents, its free soil coalition Cabinet, and its numerous acts of tree soil favoritism, the administration is responsi- ble for the disruption of the democratic party in New York, and its demoralization and re cent defeats in other States. The great co: tutiona) principle involved in the Nebraska bill, intended to restore to the President the lost confidence of the country, cannot be car ried out with the mere signing of the bil. He must reconstruct his Cabinct, and reform all his outside free soil appointments accordingly, or, as far as he is concerned, the Nebraska bill is but a delusion and a mockery to the honest democrats in Congress that have united to carry it through. Nay, more: as a homogenc- ous reorganization of the national democratic party upon the principle of this bill is now in- evitable, the administration must co-operate in the movement, or subinit to be Tyler'zed and abandoned, before another twelvemoath is over. The bill of itself will not to save the administration. In a word, Gen. Pieree “ must right about face,’ turn Marey advift and all his political kith and kin, and begin his work over again in the right way, or else President, Cabi- net, and all concerned, must go down under the scorn of all men of national principles, and with the contempt of all parties, including the free soil officeholders themselves, It will not do to make Nebraska the test of orthodoxy in the democratic church, with an exception in favor of the Van Buren free soilers, in office and out of office. They must be turned adrift be- fore there can be any consistency in the new platform sct up by the ministerial organ at Washington, Marcy and his satellites, great and small, must be weeded out, or Gen. Pierce and his free soil coalition Cabinet had bet- ter join the abolition emigration to Kansas. Preaching without practice may save the free soil spoilsmen, but it will be certain death to the administration. Wan with Spams ms Ninery Days —One of our weatherwise Wall street cotemporaries predicts that the United States will be engaged ina war with Spain in ninety days, respecting Cuba, without even three days grace. This prediction is made with all the apparent cer- tainty that the same authority would display in announcing the appearance of the eqmet or the eccurrence of an eclipse. We request our commercial friends down town not to break upany of their contemplated enterprises by sea or land. We have no belief in a war with Spain, We have too much confidence in the impotence, imbecility and cowardice of the administration to think that we shall engage in a war with Spain, or any other country,for any cause. We ought to have a war with Spain to-day. But as long as General Pierce and his present Cabinet have supreme power at Washington, there is no danger of any war at any time before the day of judgment, should they be allowed to remain in office so long. iurortant to Score axp Atrens.—A newspaper, which sets itself up as the organ of a new political party, it as a singular fact, that the greatest political influence in this country ix wielded not by anativo, either white or black, but hy a Scotchman and an alien. This newspaper aseumes to be the organ of the know-nothings, and it certainly seems to know but little on any ent In the history of the human race it makes but }ittle difference where aman is born. Everything depends upon the blood and the race. A great genius might be born ina stable, but that would not make him a horse, Know-nothingism must be a great ism one of these days, If one of our cotempora- ries ddes not take hold of It oon, we shall bo obliged to gite it a start. Ovr Rexarions wrrs Evrore—Lverrvcrions To our MinisTERs THeRE—Mr. George Bucha- nan, an intelligent young gentleman of Mary- land, leaves to-day in t!e Atlantic, for Europe, to assume the duties of his appointment as Consul at Rochelle, in France. We understand, however, that he is charged in the first place with certain official despatches to our Ministers upon the Continent, including Mr. Mason, at Paris, Mr. Soulé, at Madrid, and Mr, Seymour, at St. Petersburg. He will probably touch at the Hague, ai Berlin, and Vienna, in the course of his tour, to enlighten our Ministers at those places in respect to the exact interpretation at Washington, at this crisis, of the circulars of June last on the subject of diplomatic costume. Of vourse we are not apprised of the purport of the advices to Mr. Soulé, but it is safe to say that they relate to the Cuba question, and to some sort of Gadsden treaty arrangement for the acquisition of the island, in preference to the hazards of a rupture with England and France. Ours is a very warlike administration upon its foreign policy, according to its news- paper organs, but in action it is even more harmless and inoffensive than that of Captain Tyler or that of Gen. Taylor. The information which Mr. Buchanan will take to our Minister at St. Peters- burg may turn out to be of some practical importance. It is reported here that overtures have been submitted, in behalf of Russia, to. our Cabinet, proposing a new com- mercial treaty between the Czar and the United States, of a highly advantageous character to us—comprehending a great reduction of duties upon articles entering Russian ports from Ame- rican vessels, and such arrangements with the neutra] ports of Prussia in the Baltic, as will secure the transfer of legitimate goods between the two nations without the risks of seizure and confiscation by the allies. It is very certain that Russia, pending this struggle, is extremely desirous of keeping “right side up” with the United States; and, if in doing it, she is willing to confer upon us certain extraordinary advan- tages in trade, why should we not accept them, as far as they may not involve us in her quarrel with England and France? Mr. Spence will probably be recalled from Constantinople. The administration, it is well understood, disapprove his unqualified declara- tions to the Sultan, as the representative of the United States government, in behalf of the cause of Turkey and her allies. It is equally well known that there is a plentiful supply of candidates at Washington, for foreign appoint- ments, who will be ready to accept the Turkish mission, the mileage, and tho salary, when the vacancy shall be made. The semi-official tour of Mr. Buchanan, as we are advised, will be limited to the great capitals from Madrid to St. Petersburg, including especially, these two cities; and we doubt not that his observations and conversations on the way, will result in largely illuminating Marcy upon continental politics, the latest phases of the war, and the true policy of our government upon a grand scale. , Kansas Ternirory—Anonition ScugMe or Emreratioy.—A practical mode of settling the question of tlavery or no slavery in the Territories bas heen announced by the anti- slavery organs, which must not be over- looked. They propoze, by joint stock emigra- tion societies, to fill up Kansas and Nebraska with anti-slavery settlers, so that they shall have the power on the spot to repel or expel the institution of slavery as the case may re- quire. And why not? The country is open. The test will be a fair one; and if Southern men should pursue the same policy of joint stock emigration companies on their part, the struggle in Kansas will be only the more in- teresting and the more satisfactory in the end. We presume no slaveholder will venture with his slave property as far north as Nebraska— the contest will be in Kansas, and to that re- gion will the movements of the anti-slavery emigration socicties be directed. So be it. We have no objection. In fact, we rather approve of this emigration scheme of the abolitionists. And if Garrison, Wen- dell Phillips, Abby Folsom, Mrs. Rose, Horace Greeley, Fred Douglas and company, male and female, with all their disorganizing and sedi- tious newspaper organs, will only join in this abolition exodus,to Kansas Territory, we shall promptly contribute a thousand dollars to the emigrating fund, in order to remove these nuisances west of the Mississippi river; for on our side, or east of the Mississippi, their loss would be the public gain. And we might also be induced to contribute liberally in behalf of alarge emigration from the secessionists and fire-eaters of the South (including the Charles- ton Mercury and other journals of the’South- ern disunion stripe,) into Kansas, for then we should have the cats and dogs thrown into the arena together, to fight out their mutual re- venges tooth and nail. Let the South see to it that Kansas is not completely overrun by the abolitionists before they have made a move- ment to occupy the Territory. Slavery or no slavery, we shall be content as the people may decide. The country is open to all parties, ond the most active and numerous will rule the roast. Rainoaps or New Youk.——We have receiv- ed the last annual report of the State Engineer and Surveyor, Wm. J. McAlpine, Exq., of the railroads of this State, It is a votuminous document of more than four hundred pages, and contains much valuable information, im- portant and interesting to stockholders and the public at large. Twenty-three railroad companies have made full and detailed reports: ch the following statements are The length of railroads ia, 2,103 miley The capital stock as per charter Po. do — subseriped Do. do a in ‘The amount of floating debt The amount expended in grading bridging. 7 The amount expended on superstracture.. 7, ‘The amount expended in station buildings 3,214,424 ‘The amount expended in engine houses and machine MHOps........sccscseseeeeseee The amount expended for land damages and fenees 1,209,205 cars... it The total amount expended in cons’ ion ‘and equipment, inclading grading and SUPOTSECUCLUTOs......cseseesevereees a The Le wnat sine in ban he ‘and equipment, including grading an’ sopercirectare during the year........ 19,390,411 44 Tt appears by the reports of the different companies that the cost of repairs of the track per mile of road, exceeds that of the preceding year nearly fifty per cent, but that the repairs of machinery per mile ran by the trains is about the same. The better condition of the track has prevented the expense for repairs of machinery from increasing with the increased rates of epeed which are now adopted, The expenses of operating the roads have in- creased about twenty per cent over those of 59 the preceding year, owing to the increased speed of the trains and to the higher price of labor. There appears to have been more caution ex- ercised in the management of running trains than heretofore. The classification of accidents on railroads in this State for the year 1853,is' as follows :— Passengers. Employees. Others. [eonuteiptan i onpeietitenaneaietan? Kid. Inju. Kid. Inju. Kd. Inj. Jumping on or off trains while in motion,,....5 1 9 4 — Fell or thrown from the train......+.++ - 1 16 I-—- = Collision of train: +. 5 a [i —_-— = Trains thrown from the . tee 1 é t=—- = - 9 1 46 16 - 1 - 8 2 - 4 Mu 1 2 ee ee pS es ine ae Bee SETA RY Totals no 6 m 2 6 It will be observed how few accidents have occurred to passengers from causes beyond their own control. One passenger was killed from such causes for every 198,636,149 miles travelled, and one passenger injured for every 66,212,050 miles travelled. Twenty-one per cent only @f the accidents causing death, and thirty-three per cent of the accidents not caus- ing death to the employees, were from causes beyond their control. By a comparison of the ratio of accidents and miles travelled in 1852 with that of 1853, it will be observed that dur- ing the last year, the passengers travelled near- ly three times the distance travelled in the for- mer year before meeting with an accident caus- ing death, and one quarter farther before meet- ing with an accident not resulting in death. These evidences of the increased safety of rail- road travelling, both to the passenger and the workman, will be as gratifying to the passen- gers of railroads as they are to the public, es- pecially when it is remembered that the speed of trains has been greatly increased during the past year. Russian Gop anp Enauisn Roasr Beur.— We understand that vast quantities of Russian gold have been poured into this country, for the purpose of corrupting the press and the people, and endeavoring to obtain their sympathy for the Czar, and to induce the United States to join Russia against the Western Powers. We are not sure that this is a fact, although it has been confidently stated by European newspapers; but it is certainly very clear that a considerable amount of English roast beef and old port has been used to obtain the alliance of a distin- guished chevalier in Wall street, and some of his friends, all of whom have, heretofore, had important pecuniary relations with the former United States Bank. . Rossery or tan Uysrrep Srates Miyr ar ParispeLrata.—-It is rumored that some rob- beries have been committed upon the gold de- posits at the Mint in Philadelphia, and that bullion to an uncertain amount, from fifteen thousand to a hundred thonsand dollars, has been removed. Some newspapers make a great noise about this, What folly—what nonsense! when the administration, with the assistance of the Senate, is endeavoring to rob the treasury of ten millions, for the purpose of setting up an impudent charlatan as his Serene Highness the Emperor of Mexico. What is the use of talking about the robbery of a few thousands by any public officer, when we seg the United States treasury plundered of millions, and the acj caHed great statesmanship and mighty pa- triotism ? : Bustness Overpoxe iy New Yorx.—Every- thing is overdone in this go-ahead city. The dry goods business is overdone, the hotel busi- ness is overdone, the newspaper business is overdone, and now we are to have three or four Opera houses, all to be filled with the greatest European artists. In a short time there will be smashing work among the dry goods estab- lishments, hotels, newspapers, Opera housgs, and various other extraordinary enterprises of the day. Newspaper Crrcutation.—The daily circu- lation of the Heratp is now nearly sixty thousand per day, being equal to the aggre- gate circulation of the Stn, Tribune and Times. A fact of this kind is important to all advertisers. The daily circulation of the Wall street journals amounts in the aggregate to only about one-half of that of the penny Sun. Vator or Foreren Evtaratioy.—During the last month it is calculated that nearly 50,000 emigrants have landed in New York. If the estimated value set upon each emigrant, $1,000, be correct, we have a total of $50,000,000 added to the capital of the country through this port alone. The “Know Nothings,” we presume, know nothing of this. Political Intelligence. The Newark Mercury, an anti-Nebraska free soil whig paper, prefers to support Thomas H. Benton for the Presidency to any of the whigs in the South, who it says are ever ready to sacrifice the real good of the country to the demands of slavery. Yesterday, actording to announcement, was observed, we suppose, by the three thousand and fifty signers in New Fngland, and the Boechers and Grecleys in this State, as a day of fasting and prayer in deprecation of the passage of the Nebraska bill. The Chicago Democrat, whose principal editor, Jon Wentworth, holds a seat in Congress, and recorded his vote against the Nabraska bill, has come out in favor of the proposition of Mr. Cutting. The Democrat has here- tofore been a¢ silent upon the subject as though the non- intervention question had never been raised. The Pitsburg Journal, a rerpectable woolly head whiz paper, now that the Nebraska iniqnity has peased, is willing to sacrifice everything to redeem the honor of Pennaylvania, and make of the punishment of the perpetrators of the ‘monster wrong.’ Thurlow Weed’s paper at Albany, which senis the woolly head Seward free soil faction of the whig party, and the Albany Register, which hangs on the Fill more and silver gray horn, are talaing loudly about or- anizing a party in opposition to the Nebraska question. is looks like amalgamation. The Buflale Commercial Advertiser bas annonneed its preference for William J. Seward as a candidate for Governor.
