THRILLING BVRNTS. Since our Jat publication events of a -thriling ad painfu! character have crowded upon us ‘The decisive battle under the walle of Silistria ts the mort important that -~we have yet received from the hestile camps. An account of this is giver else- where, and in amother column may be found our ‘wsua) editorial commentary onthe features vf Earo- pean-politics,as presented by the intelligence re- ceived by the steamships Weehington and America. ‘The lamentable accident on the Susquehanna Raiiroad on the Fourth, by which twenty-five per- sone were hnitied in o eternity, a:d between thirty ‘end forty others—men, women and chil ren—were rightfully mangled, is the most pain‘ul event of that description we have-been compelied to record since the dread‘ul Norwaik tragedy, which is still fresh in the minds of our readers, The details of ‘the borrid affair are given elsewhere, and will no doubt be read with meurnful feelings. A destructive fire occurred last night at Phila debpbia. The Nationel Theatre, the Girard House, and a number of other elegant and costly buildings, with their valuable contents, were consumed. The Museum was on fire at the latest accounts, The collision of the ships Trade Wind and Olym- pus, off Cape Sable, by which both vessels and twenty-four souls were engulphed in the remorse- Jess waters, adds another to the long list of mari- time casualties that have distinguished the past few months. At Manchester, N. H., on the Fourth, a fearfal slot between partics of Americans and Irishmen took place. The former, after defeating their op- ponenta and attacking their domicils and destroying their household farniture, assaulted the Roman Catholic church, doing considerable damage. A newly erected Roman Catholic church at Dor @hester, Mase., was blown up with gunpowder on the Fourth. The canse of the explosion is attributed to various causes. ‘The annual catalogue of accidents from the indis- ¢reet use of fisearms on the Fourth is being made @p. Some of the items are given in other parts of today’s paper. FROM WASHINGTON. In the Senate yesterday the nill establishing a line of steamships between San Francisco aud Shan ghse, touching at the Sandwich Islands and Japa>, passed by a vote of twenty-three to thirteen. The bill to prevent the transfer of American owned ves- gels in ports in South America on the Atlantic, thereby more effectually suppressing the African slave trade, also pasied, the amendment appropri- ating alargesum of moncy to support a line of armed steamships, under the control of the Coulo- B zaticn Beciety, naving been withdrawn. It ap- pears that the intended opposition to this measure by the eb» lition Senators, which was so pompously anpounced by Mr. Sumner, fell throngh. The bill in aid of the construction of a line of telegraph between the Mississippi river and San Francisco was tuken up, and, after an explanation of its provi- sions by Mr. Hamlin, laid aside until today. The Insane Land bill coming up, Mr. Brodhead vindi- @ated the President’s veto of that measure. He al- 80 discussed and opposed the Homestead Dill, stat- ing that the objections of the Executive in the first instance were fully applicable to the latter subject. In the Honse the measure known as Bennett's Rand bill was token up. The General Appropria- tion bill was under consideration in committee. Amendments appropriating one hundred and eight thousand dollars for ranning the boundaries betw «Bp the United States and Mexico, according to tu Gadsden treaty, also for continuing the water wo % of the District, and the Capitol extension, andi» pay the rent of the Assay office in this city, were adopted. The bill was finally reported, and will ‘Probably be acted on in a few days, as the necessity is urgent, many public works having been suspead- ed for want of funds. AFFAIRS IN THE CITY. The Board of Aldermen last evening got through ® good deal of business in a few hours. The sub- Ject of slaughter houses was referred to the Law Committee. A communication from the Comp- troller relative to the Gansevoort property was or- @ered to be printed, and the present management of the Crystal Palace received a severe philippic from Alderman Mott. The cattle ordinance was again defeated, and the Board adjonrned to this evening at 5 o'clock. ‘Ihe Board of Councilmen held a meeting jast evening, which was mainly epent in receiving and reierring the reports of committees. In the Board of Education last evening Joseph McKeon and Samuel ‘W. Seton were elected First and Second Assistant City Superintendents. The Universal Republicans met last evening at 80 Leonard street, and in the absence of the President Col. Forbes took the chair, after which the minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. A let- ter was received from the Polish society, delegating two of its members to attend the meetings of the a» sociation; but the letter added it would not act in any matter relating to the internal affairs of the country, although the society was willing to do so in all questicns referring to European politics. After some discussion it was finally decided that the Polish delegates should be received, and that they should follow the dictates of their own judg- ments in taking part in the various mutters that might come before the society. THE Law courts. In the Superior Court yesterday Judge Dner asitt’ng in general term, decided that Mra. Langdon ‘was entitled to the first $100,000 bequeathed to her in the will of the late John Jacob Astor, but that she was not entitled to a similar sum mentioned for her in the cod.cil of the testator. In the Supreme Court, chambers, argument was heard on motion for a mandamus ogain.t the Ct am- berlain, at the suit of the polices justices, for pay: ment for their extra services.

We believe it’ yp. ; ver rains on the Fourth, It seems to be nece gar) ‘that the sup itself shall assist in adding brillir acy to | the efforts of the people, im celebrating tae na‘al | day of the Great Republic. There was Tg disanion | exhibited in any part of Ve city or COantry yester- day, for we never witzvease? a more yniversal tain out than waa preseny.d everywhe', from sunrise to sunset. The particulars of the. celebration are giv- en in another pas’, of the pap‘er, NEWS FROM, HAVANA. Two of ony regular Corresp ndents at Havana have furnisiyed ua, by che Empire City, with the latest reviv w of Culsan affairs, both domestic and political. In the home circle there was little of in- terest to detail. The vomito still prevailed, and Many pe rsons of distinction hal died of the dreaded epidemic, Amongyt the deceased was Senor Roco, of Bla 2k Warrior notoriety, whose funeral is noticed at length. The political summary is made up of the usual ella podidra of governmut decrees, fili- bug tero reporta, popular excitements, entertein- m¢ nts to the French naval officers, and the raising | of negro troops. One thing was certain: that the 4 cided opinion of all the well-informed circles was to the effect that the Spanish government had no intention of selling the island of Cuba, and that the idea was to gain time, in order to eT gptions founded on premises utterly incon- 8 stent with the traditional policy, and even the direct interests, of Austria and Prussia, for it should be recollected that however anxious / those Powers may be to protect German com, | merce, as regards the free navigation of “he | Danube, they will do nothing to virtrally | weaken Russia, which they look upan 2 their | naturel protector, against the enoroachments ; of an equally dangerous and equally powerful neighbor. If it be therefore merely to pitch | up @ bollow truce and to seoure the quietu’e of another quarter or a century, which Lord Aberdeen ecems to think would be a result worthy of the prodigious cfforts made by the Western Powerr, that the latter have accepted the conditiena] and dangerous co-operation of the Germea States, we can tell them that they will not only fai) in their object, but that they are playing the very game that is most con- ducive to the interests aud the designs of Rus- sia, They will soon arrive at the point when dissensions will spring up between them and the German States; and with Austria and Prnesia holding the Principalities it is not dif- ilt Wo foresee how this boasted alliance will end. To show how little dependence is to be placed on the straightforward action of Prussia, we may mention that it is now agreed that she is place the fortifications in a more thorough state of defence, and then invoke the aid of England and France for its retention. This plan seems to agree admirably with the feelings and prejudices of the French admiral commanding oa the coast. The slave trade was flourishing, and schools and univer. sities for free blacks were loomiag up in the impe- rial perspective of the Uaptain General. A laugh- able account of how interdicted newspapers are smuggled on shore, and read by the people, is given. LATER FROM BERMUDA, We have received our files of Bermuda papers to the 28th of June, but they do not contain a single item of interest. f'gbly Important from E urope—The Stege of Silistria Rated, The news received by the America is of a highly important and interesting character. The siege of Silistria has been raised by the unassisted efforts of the Turkish forces, and the Russians driven, with great slaughter, across the Danube. Such is the account given by the English journals. It is but right to add that the Russian version of the affair is, that opera- tions have been only temporarily suspended, and that the siege has not been definitively raised. We may, however, conclude from this partial admission, that the Russians have met with what they consider a serious defeat; and, as Silistria was the key to their whole plan of operations, we may now look for an important diversion of their forcesin another direction, of which Jasey will probably be the central point. . The details given of this affair show the im- portance attached by both sideg to this posi- tion, Nothing could exceed the bravery and obstinacy with which every point of advan- tage was contested and defended. We have kept our readers posted up on the different inci- dents of the siege to the period when the attack under Prince Paskiewitech was defeated, and the Prince himself severely wounded. After thisevent a Turkish brigade sent by Omer Pacha from Shumla, to reinforce the garrison, succeeded in entering the fortress; and, thus strengthened, the Turks made a sortie, and after a desperate hand-to-hand combat, succeed. ed in driving part of the Russian forces across the river, and in seizing the island of Hopa, and blowing up the Russian siege works erected thereon. Generals Gortchakoff and Schilders were severely wounded, and twoother Russian generals killed. The Russian troops concentrated on the east and west of Silistria immediately retired across the river and de- stroyed the bridges in their rear. The Turks, it is said, have also crossed, and have erected field works on the Bulgarian side, fronting the north face of the fortress. The news of this event has of course caused a great sensation both in London and Paris, and the funds have gone up considerably in consequence of it. An immediate attack upon Cronstadt seems to be contemplated. On the 21st all the acrew steamers attached to the Baltic squadron under Sir Charles Napier proceeded in the direction of that port, and a telegraphic despatch from Stettin states that upwards of forty vessels had been signalled from the western end of the land off the harbor. This looks as if we should soon hear of serious operations in that quarter. The English were defeated in an at- tempt to land some marines at Kalma Karlevy, but they only sustained a trifling loss. Admi- ral Plumridge has taken possession of Foraca without encountering any resistance. From the Black Sea there is nothing of importance. The main division of the fleet is still cruising off Sebastopol, and the mouths of the Danube are closely blockaded. From Asia we learn that Schamy] is marching upon Tiflis. Itis officially announced that the convention between Austria and the Porte for the Aus- trian occupation of the Moldavian and Walla- chian Principalities, was signed at Constantino- ple on the Mth of June. It remains to be seen whether Austria will not hold them in trust for others than their legitimate owners. The debate which took place in the House of Lords on the 19th, with regard to the memo randum presented by Austria and Prussia to the Germanic Diet, strikingly bears out the view which we took of that equivocal document Lord Lyndhurst, in one of those lucid and masterly speeches which have won him his high reputation as one of the first parliamentary orators of the present day, showed concla- sively that according to the agreement cxist- ing between the four Powers no alteration was to take place, whatever might be the result of the war, in the ter- ritorial limits between Turkey on the one hand and Russia on the other, It will be recol- lected that in analysing this explanatory statement of the position about to be as sumed by the two leading German States, we regarded it as in reality liable to the construction of being intended to secure the integrity of the Russian territories in the event of the war proving unfavorable to the designs of that Power, and such now ap- pears to be the view generally taken of it by European statesmen, Throughout the whole o! the discussion raised by Lord Lyodhuret, this conviction peuctrates not only through tho cautiously expressed doubts of the oppositio speakers, but derives strength from the stili more guarded and unsatisfactory statements 0 the Foreign Secretary and the Premier. Neither of the latter attempted to weaken the effect of Lord Lyndburst’s argumeuts, hy defining th prospective course likely to be pureaed by the German Stites, once the limited ob cet which they proposed to themselves in joinin, the coalition were attained, Avner lay kee oppored motning Dab as | not formally to declare war against Ruasia, but that she fs to place a certain contingent under the orders of Austria, It is also said that she is again endeavoring to negotiate a peace, the preliminary condition of which is to be the retirement of the allies from Turkey. the Apt! Nebraska Coalition—Call of a State Convenuun at Saratoga Springs. The call, which we publish this morning, in- viting “the people of this State, without dis- tinction of party, to meet by their delegates in convention, at Saratoga, on’ Wednesday, the 16th day of August next, to consider what mea- sures are neceesary and proper for the protec- tion of the free States from Southera aggres- sion and Northern treachery,” is not an every day transaction. It is an extraordinary pro- ceeding, and from the parties and the issues in- volved in it, may reasonably be expected to bring about some extraordinary consequences. It is the first formal movement towards the organization of that great, vverwhelming anti- slavery coalition, of which the organs of Sewardism and the presses of the “ free demo- cracy” have been warning us for a month or two. It will be observed that among the names of the Executive Committee are Moses H. Grin- nell, whig; Theodore McNamee, free soiler pro- per; William Cullen Bryan, free soil Van Buren democrat, and others of the same par- ties respectively. In fact, it was but proper that the parties to the cal! should be, like the convention which they have appointed, a meet- ing “without distinction of party,” rallying together under the pretext of the repeal of the Miseourl Compromise, upon the single, common principle of hostility to Southern slavery. The basis of a fasion has thus been laid down—a State Convention has been appointed accordingly; the parties con- cerned are evidently in earnest, and the'whip- pers-in of the administration clique, and of other fag-ends of the old political organiza- tions, may justly be very deeply concerned re- specting the forthcoming anti-slavery Holy Al- liance at Saratoga Springs. The designation of the locality itself is sus- picions. It looks as if the prime movers of the convention were resolved to purge all the re- mains of their old party associations from the minds and the stomachs of the delegates. It looks asif they were as determined upon driving Southern visiters from Saratoga, through the agi- tation of the negro question, as were the people of Rhode Island in expelling them from Newport by the Maine Liquor law. If this were an agri- cultural State fair, or a great horse, cattle, or chicken exhibition; if it were but an ordinary democratic convention—hard shell or soft shell; or a whig convention—Seward or anti-Seward; or an independent convention of the free soilers; or an out-and-out abolition or woman’s rights gathering, we might conclude that the hotel- keepers of Saratoga were interested in fixing the location; for the thing would pay. Southern visiters would be amused and instructed upon New York politics, or New York enterprise, and there would be no occasion for any ill feel- ing on the subject. But a convention which is to embody and organize all men of all parties in the State, upon the single issue of “arrest- ing the aggressions of Southern slavery,” could only be called at Saratoga Springs against the remonstrances of the hotel keepers, and for the express purpose of more directly insulting the South through its citizens who may be s0- journing at Saratoga Springs. We presume that the calculating politicians getting up this convention counted the prospects of a con- siderable Southern representation at their meetings, or they would have fallen back upon Syracuse, or Utica, or some such central posi- tion, instead of Saratoga. Whatever the rea- sons for their choice, they have selected an ex- cellent spot for the dog days; and with the aid of the Missour! repeal, the strangers at the Springs, and the inducements of the Congress water to go there, we may anticipate a large and noisy convention. In a political view the importance of this as- semblage cannot be over-estimated. It will probably determine conclusively the platform and the plan and purposes of the proposed Holy Alliance in regard to the campaign of 1856, but especially in regard to our Con- greesional elections of November. It will pro- bably indicate how far the administration free soil party is to suffer from desertions to the coalition camp, and whether there will be a vee- tige of the New York whig party left, of cither faction, to hold fast to the claims of Millard Fillmore for the succession. This Saratoga mixed convention will, therefore, be one of the moet important political assemblages, if not the first in importance, convened in this State for the last twenty-five years. We expect very little of the hard shell con- vention of the 12th inst. They have no spoils in hand or in expectancy—their Principleshave been horribly cut up by the Nebraska bill, and they have ceased to possess the power or the vigor of an independent homogeneous party. All that we can hope from the hards ig their continued hostility to the administration on the ‘esue of the spoils. If they sball prove them vives independent enough and courageous enough to approve the repeal of the Missouri compromise, they will either bring the adminis- tration faction to the mark or drive them back sgain into the free soil ranks, But if the vards attempt to shuffle off the great issue ia a paltry dodge upon “popular sove: * they will still have to meet it in the e Briefly, thi r the highest importanes; because it will chow, !

From | present appearances the prospects of all the | | factions of bot}: the old parties, upon old party | | associations in New York, are bad enongh, | while the anti-slavery coalition looms up into ! shape and sybstance, like a great cloud over- shadowing the horizon. Whe Fourth and the Abulitionists, The Fourth is past, and the Union is safe. The noisy people who have been counting their patriotism in dollars and cents, aud clamoring about the necessity of immediate dissolution, were either mute as stones on the Fourth, or secret sharers in the festivities of the day. No where was asingle protest heard against the nation’s re oicings. From Maise to New Or- Jeans, the memory of our Declaration of Inde- pendence was bonore?, and fresh promises of loyalty to the constitution implied. Even in Rhode Islasd common sense prevailed, and the glorious anniversary was celevrated in accus- tomed style. Where were tie demagogues who said that after the Nebraska bill, no northern man could reoice in the idea of the Unioa? Where were those who assured us that the coa ttitution was henceforth a vain word and that everything tending to bring to mind the com- pact under which we live would inspire sullen silence, instead of shouts of joy? Where were the disunionists, the fanatics, the Parkers and the Greeleys, in whose nostrils the Union has long stuck, and who are for ever warning us that it exists only by sufferance, and requires but a single blow to destroy it? If any of the brood were visible yesterday, we have not heard of it. If any one whispered disunion, he whispered it in a very quiet way in a secluded place, where no one could have heard him had he shouted it at the top of bis lungs. So far as the public are aware, the people were to a man faithfal to the constitution. The day was perhaps never celebrated with more enthusiasm and universal good feeling. Every city and village had its fireworks and its oration. The fashionables, of eourse, whose nerves cannot bear the noise of crackers, were scattered among the rural re- treats ; but the thew and sinew of ‘the people were in town, and right heartily did they epeuk their mindin action. Rockets, and crackers, and piste! firing, and parading in the streets may seem small matters ; but small as they are, they are not habitually practised by the people on national celebrations when there is any gen- eral distrust of the government or disaffection to the State. Avrefusal to take part in these gaieties is, in fact, the shadow which coming re- volutions cast before them. Necker saw clearly that evil was brooding when the Parisians would go to no more fétes ; and when the populace of New York decline to celebrate the Fourth with fireworks, and noise, and every other deuon- stration of popular glee, then we may look anx- iourly forward to the future. But s0 long as euch scenes as those of Tuesday mark the re- currence of our National Anniversary, we may safely leave the State to the guidance of for- tune, and smile at the impotent violeace of the factions. Ithas already become a desperate straggle to keep the anti-Nebraska sentiment alive. It required a tremendous organization of il- legal violence at Boston to prevent its de- mise some weeks back; and more recently, a senator of the United States has been employed to galvanize fresh vigor into the moribund, at the sacrifice of his own character for honor and truth. But even these desperate remedies do not seem to be attaining any satisfactory end. Nebraska and its organization are fast dying out of men’s memories. We have too much to do in the present day to fight or weep over bygones. If anything could have given a semblance of vitality tothe party led by Mr. Seward and his organs, it would have beensome demonstration on the 4th. The event we com- memorate on that day is the root andorigin of the grievances of the abolitionists. The sane members of that body cannot pretend that their views are consistent with the constitution; they must admit—as many of them have done--that they are radically opposed to that compact it- self, and that their aim in one word is to undo the work which was begun on the 4th July 1776. For these men, therefore, to join incele- brating the anniversary of that day is the ranKest inconsistency. They should spurn the thought of such athing. Forthem, the 4th of July should be a day of weeping and sorrow. All the miseries they bewail took their origin in the concerted action of the thirteen colonies ; and if they seek to achieve anything at all, they must begin by convincing the public that the action of those colonies was an error to be deplored and corrected, not an exploit to be exaltedand magnified. It is impossible for any conscientious disunionist to awake on the morn- ing of the 4th July without intense feelings of regret and anger. ow many of the people of the United States arose on Tuesday last with feelings akin to regret or anger? How many in those crowds which even o torrid sun could not en- tirely dissipate looked as though they disliked the recollections whigh the day suggested? We say it boldly, there was not a man in New York or in any other large city in the Union who felt or looked anything of the kind. All was gladness, rejoicing and thanksgiving for the blessings the disunionists seek to destroy. If we were to lay it down as a general princi- ple that consistency and conscientiousness are necessarily part of the disunionist creed, we should obviously infer from the ecenes of Tues- day that the species is extinct amongus. The inference would we feur be unjustifiable, Neither consistency nor conscientiousness are virtues peculiar to the factious. The disunion- ists kept quiet enough on the 4th when the na- tional spirit was aroused, and any expression of their opinions might have cost them dear: they waited until the masses were once more immersed in their private avocations to renew their trashy clamor. When every one is busy in buying, selling, and carrying on his own businees the little knot of disunionists will loom up as noisy and as ridiculous as ever. Tre Exxctions ror THe Next Coxaress—Tux Prest IAL Qvrstroy.—From the confusion into which parties are thrown, and from the re- cpening of the anti-slavery agitation ina more violent form than ever, it is very likely that the ekction of the next I upon the How ton.

Will you, if elected ; to reprecent us there, vote for the man of North- | ern or Southern principles? And who is your favorite candidate for the Presidency, as mat- ters stand? The vote of New York, though only equal to that of Delaware in the House, for President, may decide the question ; and the vote of one member may carry the State. Let us go into the work with a straight under- standing. It may have a great effect in super- seding those swindling Baltimore conventions, Orp Tammany Buazinc—Tue Prestpest IN Her Arms.—The Evening Post, (one of the most rampant anti-Nebraska free soil organs in the country,) having become, since the expul- sion of the T'rue National Democrat, the offi- cial organ of Tammany Hall,’publishes the official report of the celebration of the glorious Fourth by the Tammany Society. The pro- ceedifigs were characterized by an intensity of flunkeyism equal to the range of the thermome- ter. Mr. Purdy presided. Mr. Purdy was warm and enthusiastix—Mr. Purdy could not restrain himself, neither could John Cochrane, as will appear from the following extract from the Post :— Mr. Purpy thought it would be useless for him to say apytbing about the first toast. Old Tammany ne-dei no stirring up on that matter. It at leas: was true to the constitution.

Mr. Cochrane closed by ex horting bis hearers to union aod harmony with all sec tions of the democracy, provided it was based oa trae Semearerie principles. He concluded by giving as a on ¢ People—They are sovereign. ntiment was received with tremendous cheers, which made the old Wigwam ring. What a glorious time they had of it! With Franklin Pierce in their arms, wonder how they will come out of the November election. No doubt as long as he holda his office, the Survey- er of the Port will hold the Pesident in his arms, He loveshim at the rate of at least three thousand dollars a year. But the weather will be cooler in November. Tne Panic my Wax Street.—Early yester- day morning it became known in Wall street that an over issue of New York and New Haven Railroad stock had been made to an amount which was believed to fall but little short of two millions of dollars. A panic was the con- sequence, and most of the railroad stocks fel! one or two per cent at the first board of bro- kere, New Haven was the last railroad stock in which anything of the kind was expected. It had always been a favorite stock for invest- ment, and was not dealt®s a fancy. The cha racter of the President and transfer agent stood second to none in the city. Yet it now stand in the eame as the miserable trash that used to be trafficked in under the name of Parker Vein. This is another evidence of the conse quences of the extravagance in living and over- speculation which characterize the mercantile population of New York. Full particulars of this stupendous fraud will be found in the money article. Tue Tive or Exicration.—The following isa correct return of the number of foreign emigrants who have arrived at this port during the last month (June) :— Germans. ++ 11,17 Spanish. 79 British + 18,950 Wes t ee bate , me est Indians 277 MN abies vices dis yh TKS Ge veceeees 39,363 The large standing armiea which have been set on toot by the German States will probably, to some extent, affect the usually steady satio of increase ia the number of German emigrants. Many will be induced to take service in the army who would otherwise contribute to swell the tide of emigration. The proportion of French emigrants also continues to show a steady increase, although: there is no people who have a greater repugnance to quitting their native soil. ‘Tue Orgra at Castiz Gaxpex.—The opera of “Maria de Rohan” ia to be performed this evening, when Sigaora Martini D’Ormy will make her first appearance as Aman_ do deGondi.

M@., was at 96 degrees vorth and 92 degreos south ; on Tursday, 4th, at 12 A M., 97 degrees north and 96 degroas south ; Wednesday, Sth, at 2P. M., 100 degress north an@ 96 de- grees sovth. The heat has been continuous. My record of hourly observations, made without interruption for eight consecutive years, furnishes but eightsen days in the month of July, in that number of years, during which the temjera‘ure rose to and above 90 degroes, and the hottest of thoce eighteen days was the 13th of. July, 1849°—06 degrees. It will, no doubt, be ascertained that this heated term has been caused by tremors of the earth. E. MERTAM. Brooxiry Hzscrs, July 5, 1854. Mona: The Tarf.
