Our special reporters have farnished us with the Iatest particulars respecting the situation of the steamship Fravklin. The accouats are dated up to Mo'clock yesterday (Wednesdsy) morning, when ‘the general belief of the most experienced sear: swan to the effect that the steamer woul i be a total | Joes. From daybreak of Tues’ he lay more easily, but wea n.mentarily set ver in her ‘bed, with from eight ond a half ¢ 1 feet of wate fm her hold. Notwittstacding th. heavy buffetting whieh she had endured from the moment of the dis- aster up to t! yar at which our last accounta were written, the maclinery still held together, and was considered to be in good working order, although eovered with water. Mr. Kane, the purser, with bout thirty-five of the hands employed in various departments of the vessel, reached Brovklyn by the Long Island Railroad at a qvarter past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. A umber of the crew werg left behind, owing to hay- dng been marched to & wrong station, and they suffer- ed a good deal from want both of food and fresh water. As the Frapkiin is the first steamer which ‘ever went aground on the Long Island shore, the ®eene at the mainland, on the bay, and even in the garf, was at once romantic and affecting. Mrs. Commodore Hull, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, with some six or eight more of the passengers, remained at Bishop's Hotel, Morriches, yesterday morning. It ‘was then expected that the baggage and a portion of the cargo would rench New York this evening, or to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at latest. The bag- gage has been well cared for, and the custom house officials were dilligent in the execution of their duty. FROM WASHINGTON. Inthe Senate yesterday the abolition members from Obio and Massachusetts presented petitions for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. The Ja diciary Committee, to which had been referred the Memorial on this subject, reported thatit was inex- pedient to legislate on the matter, and were reliev- ©d from its farther consideration. A bill for the re- lief of several clerks in the Indian bureau was re- ported and passed. The Texas Debt bill was far- ther discussed, and then laid aside. The debate on the Homestead bill was renewed, ani various amendments were, offered. Mr. Clayton, with a ‘view to test the sense of the Senate on this measure, moved to lay the bill on the table. This was re Jected by a vote of twenty four yeas to twenty-seven min the House the efforts of Mr.<Olds and others to repeal the law affecting the postage of periodicals ‘and newspapers were defeated, the bill being laid on the table by a handsome majority. The bill provid- ing accommodation for the federal courts in Phila- @elphia, New York ani Boston, and authorizing the Preliminary steps towaris the erection of buildings for such purposes and for post offices in those citics, was passed. In committesthe Army Appropriation dill was taken up, and in course of the discussion the subject of tie superintendency of the national armories waa reargued. This matter has beou settled by restoring civilians to that service. ‘The bill making appropriations for the improve- ment of various rivers and harbors having already passed the House, is now under consideration be- fore a committee of the Senate. It sppropriates about two and a half million of dollars, the bulk of which is applied to very necessary improvements in ‘the rivers of the West. These improvements are in most instances imperatively necessary, in order ‘that the vast and increasing inland commerce of the country may be carried on without hindrance. That Shese appropriations are far below what is absolute- Jy required is acknowlesged on all hands; but still ‘they are based upon the estimates of men of skill, and were satisfactory to the representatives of the different loca'ities designed to be besefitted. Yet it ia given out that the President will veto the bill mould it pasa the Senate. What a convenient per- @onage the Executive of this nation has become, ‘that be can at al! times be relied on as the scape goat for the eccentricities of sage grave men whi amuse themselves in getting up Insane Land bills, Homestead bills, and all sorts of bills, for the ox press purpose of gulling the simple minded public and allowing the President to distinguish himself by showing off his negative qualities. There is no doubt, after the vote of yesterday, but that the Homestead bill will pass the Senate, though by a close vote, and there can be ro doubt, also, but thar ‘the President will veto it. : BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Board of Education last eveniag transacted a Jarze amount of routine business, a report of which wiltbe found in another colamn. PROM RAVANA. The steamship Piiladelphia arrived last night from New Orleans and Havana, bringing advice: from the latter to the Lith instant—six days later ‘There i4 nothing new in politica. There was a re tat Havana just before the steamship left that ema! eleamer, belonging to the Nicaragua Tran- git Company, had been wrevked on Colorado reef, west end of Cnba. Nothing had been heard re. a Pevana to San Juan, Nicaragua The yellow fever | Independent Prese— Progress of the Revetm- | to he expoced. , Was on the increase and proved more fatal than ‘ usual. COMMERCIAL APPAIRS. The foreign news by the Niagara prodaced very little cha» ge in our markets yesterday. Dealers were dis; oned to awatt the receipt of privae letters be fore do ng much. Low grades of State flour were somewhat easier to purchase. Corn fell off about one , Cent per bushel. Prime white w' eat was scarce and firm. A lot of new Southern red sold at $1550 $170, and one of prime white Mchigan cold at | $2.07 per bushel. Cotton sold pretty freely, wichoat apy quotable change in prices, especialy for the higher and finer grades. DEPLETING THE TREASURY. Secretary Guthrie’s surplus unds seem in a fair way of being reduced without the aid of any special legielation on the subjec’. The House of Represen- tatives jast week | assed the Army bill appropriating $10,000,000; the C.vil and Di.lomatic Appropria- tion bill, $12,000,000; the bill prov ding for the im- provement of rivers and harbors, $2,500,000; aud the Lighthouse bil, $1,250,000—total, $25,750,000. Add the ten mi lions for the Gadsden stipulations arid it makes quite an imposing a;ray of figures, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP, It i: announced that Gov. Seymour has tendered. to Lorenzo B. Shepard the office of District Attor. ney of this city, now vacant by the death of Natha- nicl B. Blant, Esq. Mr. Shepard is well known to our citizens, The Cirais of the Eastern Difficulty. The reply of the Emperor of Russia to the demands of the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets confirms the view we took yesterday of the present aepect of the Eastern question. By the evacuation of Wallachia the Czar secks to divest the question of these extraneous elements of difficulty arising from the intervention of Ger- man interesta, as regards the free navigation of the Danube, and to limit it to the direct issues which have brought him into collision with the Western Powers. In this conceasion—whether voluntary or forced we will not stop to in- quire—he only consulta the dictates of common prudence. If it be so important to the coali- tion to secure the conditional support of the German Powers, it becomes the more necessa- ry for him to neutralize the motives that im- pel those governments to afford the Western alliance a limited co-operation. Ifit be true, as asserted, that the reverses which his armies have experienced under this retrograde move- ment, is a matter of strategic necessity, he shows tact in seeking to impart to it such a coloring as willserve to confirm the wavering sympa- thies of his German neighbors, The real truth of the matter we however believe to be that the evacuation of the southern Principality is part of a concerted plan, long since agreed upon between the Russian and German Cabi- nets, and which was made an indispensable con- dition of the subsequent friendly action of the latter. We have now arrived at the culmi- nating point of the difficulty which is to deter- mine what the intentions of the German Pow- rs really are, and how far their double-faced \iplomatic professions towards both interests may be relied upon by either. There is nothing in the reply of the Czar to the bypocritical German ultimatum which in- dicates any disposition upon his part to flinch from the contest. What he offers now he has offered before, as, indeed, he was bound by con- sistency with his own demands to do. In fact, his new proposition divests his former conces- sions of any value that might have been at- tached to them. By reserving what he terms a strong military position in Moldavia, he seeks to obtain an advantage that he did not before possess, and carries out the invariable policy of Russia since the time of Catherine~of only compromising each fresh aggression for some positive benefit, cither in the shape of territo- rial acquisitions, or of political prerogatives that may serve as the basis of fresh encroach- ments. It was the proud boast of the Czarina that Russia had never engaged in any war which had been unattended with some compen- eating benefit. In reviewing its history for the last century and a half, it will be found that in but few in- stances has this remark been falsified. Step by step, and with a steady and unwavering perse- verance, has the policy which it embodies been carried out; and its fruits are now to be seen in the vast territorial importance and great political predominance to which this but lately barbarous, and still buat partially civilized em- pire has attained. North, east, west and south, Russia has been gradually extending her terri- tories and her sway, until Europe, terrified at the growing magnitude of her power, now seeks to impose limits to her expansion. The des- tinies of nations are, however, placed in other hands than those of the short-sighted politician: who behold in the great changes that are gradu- ally developing themselves in the social and political relations of the world but fresh oppor- nities for the advancement of their own selfish interests, and the more gencral enslavement of mankind. Retauiation Uron run Nort#.—Connecticut is likely to pny dear for her rebellion against the constitution. The leading men of South Carolina are deliberating upon a project for the imposition of a sort of octvoi or excise upon manufactures imported from Connecticut; and from the tone of the Southern press, it seems likely that the echeme will be carried into ef- fect. It would be only fair and just. If Con- necticut attempts to deprive Southern men of their property, South Carolina is justitied in refusing to encourage the industry of that State by purchasing their manufactures. Our neigh- bors have seized a two-edged weapon; they will find that if they can injure the Sonth, the South can injure them-in return, and no one knows which of the two will get the best of the fight. When the aspirations of Garrison and Greeley are realized, and disunion takes place, Connecticut may deal with Sontherners as in her wisdom to her seems fit; so long as ths Union exists, rebellion by one State against the others cannot but be a losing game. Brcwpers or Tae Fixaxciers.—Before Santa Anna’s ten millions were voted, the wise men of Wall street were in a fever of anxicty on the subject. Should the money or any portion thereof, said they, come into the strect, a tro- mendons impetus would be given to stocks, and the decline of the past few months would he re- covered. Well, the money did come ; three millions and a balf went into the banks for the purpose of being lent out to speculators, mer- chants and others. But if the money .came, the rise didn’t; on the contrary, prices steadily eagged down, till we find Erie selling at fifty dollars less per share than it commanded nine months ago. With all the benefit of Santa An- na’s millions, the market is throughout lower at present than it has been for four years. Mer- chants and banks prefer locking ap their dol- Jars in iron safes to lending them to brokers After thie, let no man talc of financial expe- rience. thon, ‘The establishment of the indep-nde ¢ news- ' paper press in thie country was the inaugura- tion of a great revolution in America . politics and political parties. At: first its advances were tlow and imperceptible; but as the new system of independent newspaper enterprise developed its strength with the « xtension of its circulation, the old party cliques, party buck- | eters and party organs of the day, lost their influcne , loat caste, lost their unity. thvir efti- ciency and their power over the people.an the putlic plunder. Thus, they have continued los- ing, until t er volution is complete; and the independent press ie universally recognized as | the exponent of an independent action of pab- lic opinion in all the great political movements } of the day. A host of our readers will remember tha‘ when the New Yorx Huratp was established, the manifestoes of the central organ of the ad- ministration, and of its echoes at Albany, Rich- mond, Concord and elsewhere, were the su- preme law of the land. At that day the Alba- py Regency and the Kitchen Cabinet at Wash. ington, apd the oligarchy of Tammany Hall, were all-powerful in their dispensations of re- wards and punishments, in their federal and local measures of public policy, and in their supreme control of the spoila, But with the administration of Van Buren, the independent press began to de- velope its power, and the tremendous financial revulsion and general bankruptcy brought about by the pet bank system, gave to the independent journals of the day a foothold against regencies, and wigwams, and cliques, and organs, and kitchen cabinets, which bas at length resulted in scattering them to the four winds of heaven. The power of the independent press was first strikingly manifested in the campaigns which resulted in the election of Gen. Harrison; and in every subsequent Presidential canvass the cause and the ticket of the independent press, unshackeled by party affinities and free from all sorts of forgeries and corruptions for the spoils, has been invariably successful. In like manner every administration, and every Cabi- net, which has departed from the honest avi straightforward policy which it was chosen to carry out, has been broken down and broken up, and very largely through the influence of. an unfettered and unpurchaseable press. Take, for examples, the Cabinet and administration of General Taylor, and the still more applicable administration and Cabinet of Gen. Pierce, and look at the results: Sustained by the Ameri- can people, the New York Henan, of itself, bas proved more than a match for the President, Cabinet, organs, office holders, and central and local juntas, backed up, though they have been, by the sinews of war to the extent of some seventy-five millions of dollars per annum of the spoils. The trim- mings and dodgings of the administration, the ingeniou® devices of Cushing, the brytal policy of Guthrie, the cunning expedients of Marcy, have all signally failed of their objects. Abandoning the broad national policy which the people so forcibly decreed in 1852, the ad- ministration has simply been abandoned. And standing by the people as the exponent of pub- lie opinion, the independent press wields this day the power which the administration has forfeited, and has taken its place in the general direction of public sentimeat. The central organ of the administration at Washington his become even more contemptible in the public estimation than the jackdaw .Madisonian of Captain Tyler; and its echves tind no echo among the honest masses of the country. Briefly, through the progressive spirit of the age and the facilities of railroads, steamships and telegraphs, in connection with the inde- pendent press, the clique which controlled the democratic party, and fattened upon the spoils of victory, have been scattered like “the den of thieves” from the temple. And if, from the corrupt and incongraous affiliations ofits managers, the national demo- cratic party is broken to pieces upon the wheel ofa largely enlightened public opinion, it is but the judgment of justice, which, with an in- flexible impartiality, has meted the same penal- ty to the late formidable organization kaowa as the national whig party. The one has filled up the schedule of its utilities, both have ex- hausted public forbearance with their corrap- tions, and both are essentially defunct. As the lines between the old federal and republican parties were obliterated in 1823, and in the scrub race of 1824, so now we enter upon a new epoch from the decline, the fall and dispersioa of the two great national partées of the last twenty-five years, The coincidence between the year 1823 and the preeent, is remarkable in this—that all the existing indications, the demolition of old party landmarks, the noise and confusion among all the old cliques and hucksters and political thimble-riggers of the day, admonish us to pre- pare for the contingencies of another serub race for the new epoch which is to be formally rati- fied in 1856, The administration has become utterly impotent—the central Cabinet organ is but a sorry humbug—Tammany Hall has be- come a standing joke among the uabuttered demgcracy—John Cochrane and Elijal F. Purdy still “hold the President in their arms ;” but, as has heen shrewdly suggested, it is only to “equeeze more office out of him.” The simple fact is, that the news- paper press and the American people fairly ect out upon the high road to independent political action together—they have triumphed to- gether; for the triumph of the press is but an element in the victory achieved by an indepen- dent people, Greater triumphs have yet tocome. With all that has been achieved, the people—the hon- est masses of the people—are still but partially relieved from the tricks of trading demagogues and spoils seeking cabals, The party press has yet to be divorced from the spoils of Congress and the administration; the Kitchen Cabinet has yet to be driven from the White House; the unclean birds of such old rookeries as Tam- many Hall are not yet wholly cleaned oat; and the impudence of vulgar. spoil-men in our po- pular elections has yet to be decisively punish- ed. Then, again, from the debris and the drift- wood and rubbish of the late whig and demo- cratic parties, new and corrupt political coali- tions and disorganizing factions are springing into existence. We are threatencd not only with the fiercest and most dangerous agitation between the two sections of the Union, but with a war between religious creeds and different classes of our fellow-citizens, ominous of wide- spread miechief and confusion. And last, though not least, we are warned by all the signs of the times of an approaching financial revulsion, of a magnitude with the schedule of speculations, stock-jobbings, banking opera With this prodigions ¢atalogue of responsl- bilities in hand, thvre will be work enoagh for years to come for the independent people and the independemt presa We are enli t d with the people for the war, for the Union, the con- | stitution, and against all corruptions and awind- ling ia high and low places’ We have a holy duty and high career thus opened before us. Firet among the obligatious thua devolving upon the independent pre-s, we regard the task of ; clearing the track of the remains of tie ad- ministration, of the whig and democratic par- ties of the past, of the holy anti-slavery co- alition, and of all the disorgan zing factions of the day, for the triumph of anew national constitutional Union party in 1856. Scrub Tace or no scrub race, there cun be no reliance in any existing fragment ofa party agaiust the seditious coalitions that are taking the field, The New York Heratp, 8 an inde- pendent press, will continue to stand—as it has stood, and now stands—the unflinching advo- cate of the integrity of the Uuion, the consti- tution and the American people, and fora party competent to hold this broad platform. ‘Tue INsuRRECTION IN SPaIn.—Old Spain is following the example of her colonies in Ameri ca, and becoming a prey to constant revolu- tions. The Spaniards have even better cause to risé in rebellion than the Colombians or the other Hirpano-American races. Their Queen is a loathcome profligate; and following her example, the whole court has sunk to a depth of debauchery seldom paralleled in ‘the worst ages. The financial condition of Spain is familiar to every one: open bankruptcy would be more straightforward and not more humiliat- ing than the policy at present pursued by each successive Spanish ministry. For years the population of Madrid have been on the eve of revolt, and have avaijed themselves of every opportunity to come into collision with the authorities, In this last attempt, some sort of success appears to have attended their first ef- forte; we must wait for further advices before we can speak with any confidence of the ulti- mate result, The government has resorted to the old Spanish course of seizing the telegraph and robbing the mails, so that we are withont our usual information from the seat of the movement. These measures however can only retard the receipt of news for a brief period, and a week hence, we shall probably know what are the chances of the Queen’s dethronement, and what the prospect of a successful over- throw of the present government. It would be interesting to know by the way what M. Soulé is about in the present conjuncture. The last we heard of him was that he was hand and glove with the Queen: is he on her side still? Tae Rrver anp Harsor Bit anp THE Home- 8Tkap Br1—A Farr Warntnc.—The House of Repreeentatives at Washington have lately parsed a bill making very liberal appropriations for the improvement of the navigable rivers avd harbors of the United States, trom Maine to Oregon, and from New York to Texas. The bill is now before the Senate, with every pros pect of the concurrence of that body in the Measure, and some additional appropriations, too. ‘fhe President’s organ, however, admon- istes honorable Senators from the seaboard, the great lakes, and the mighty rivers of the West, not to be too enthusiastic on the subject, for if the bill goes up to the White House it will be vetoed. Pierce's inaugural, and the messages of Jackeon and Polk on the subject, are repro- duced to prove the inevitable contingency of a veto, if the Senate persist in the folly of pass- ing the bill. This isa fair warning that the Senate need not waste much time in discussing the subject, and we hope they won't, On the Homestead bill, the Union says :— The debate yesterday in spoken of as having been characterised by unusual ability. The apecehes of Sena- tors Wolier and Cass in favor of the bill, and of Senator Benjamin against it, have receive! tonne he in our hearing. The reply of General Case to Mr. Benja- min is represented to us on all hands as one of the finest efforts cf his Senatorial carver. We know that the heart of General Cass is in this measure; he re ards it as the measure of the times; hence wa are prep:red to give ready and full credence to the high comp!iments which are paid to his eloquent and aninated viadication of the measure yesterday. Can anybody tell where the little joker is in this case? Is it another veto? Perhaps. Tne Grer Enterprises AND OTHER SwinpLes. —We see that Judge Ingraham has refneed to discharge J. Woodman Hart from arrest in the suit which the Governors of the Alms House brought against him in consequence of his alleged infraction of the statute against lot- teries. Whatever may be the merits of Hart’s particular cace, it is clear that the most strin- gent measures ought to be taken to suppress these gift enterprises, which are nothing better in fact than the mock auetions of Broadway and Chatham street; and on this ground we rejoice at Judge Ingraham’s decision. By the law of this State, all lotterles are pronounced iMlegal ; and we can conceive’ nothing which falls more properly within the purview of the statute than many of the gift enterprises which bave been recently established in this city. They are got up not for the city but for coun- try operation : the bulk of the money derived trom them being obtained from greenhorns in country towns and villages. It was for the suppression of such affairs that the statute was passed ; we hope nothing will prevent its being vigorously carried into execution. Tur Farmers at Wasninoton Market.—We have received, and we publish this morning, a complaint from ‘“ Many Farmers,” who consider themselves aggrieved by the regulations at or near Washington market. They desire to be allowed to remain at their stalls until nine o'clock in the morning, instead of being obliged to remove at seven. If this can be allowed without serious detriment to other business in that quarter of the city, the requested permis- sion should be given. Just at this time every species of provision is very high in price, and it can only come down to a fair standard by competition, which is especially the life of trade in such perishable matters as fruits aud vegetables. Gampiixe at Newrort.—We publish, this morning, a curious letter from Newport, giving an account of a tremendous feud now existing between two parties of fashionable gamblers at that place. We do not mean by fashionable gamblers what are called “sporting men,” but “elub men’’—delegates from Wall street and the Fifth ayenue to grand whist aud écarté con. ventions held every year at Newport and Sa- ratoga. A little insight into fashionable life would throw a great deal of light apom the mo- tives of such terribly abused individuals as Sebuyler, Crane, Paul, Kybe and other cl fellows who now languish under public scor The proposition to limit the bets at the gam- dling tables at Newport, is a good idea. Things have been done in the unlimited style, at that place, too long.

A name so ‘well known to the community as that of Schayler, long associated with the aristocracy and the wealthiest of our city, gave rise to theexpectation that the home of such citizen must abound in all that was rich and gorgeous in household decorations.

The building in which Mr. Schuyler resided, No.66 West Fourteenth street, is a few doors from the Sixth avenue, and as unpretending in its appearance externally as al- most any other along this street. It has a freestone front, four stories high, large front stoop and area, situated upon a full lot, but is devoid of that external: richness avd ornament which makes so conspicuous many of the dwellings on Fourteeath street and the Fifth avenue It has nevertheless the appearance of being substantially built, is large and commcdious, well caloulated to give the necessary domestic comfort toa faaily not influ- enced by stinted ideas and the aesire to overieap all their neighbors in show, in finery, fashion, and the mere trap- ngs of that “vaulting ambition’ which sq. often jrompts the first false step, and brings ruin into many s household. ‘There isa fine large yard in the rear of ibe house, growing with shrubbery, plan's, and vines, long tended by the hands of those who are now driven rom the familiar spot by the sad reverses of fortane and the creditors’ hari-decree.

On a large table in the back parlor was.spread the sil- ‘ver ware, the only article that indicated prodigality or Profusion on the part of the proprietor. With this was a large variety of cut glass, French china, porcelain and wares of this nature, but not of a style or richness to Geserve special comment.
