It is gives elsewhere. MISCLLLANEOUS. The steam frigate San Jacinto, which recently putin at Boston with disabled machinery, will Reave that port for her destisation—the Baitic—-on Saturday next. She has been thoroughly examined: An arrival at Boston froma the coast of Africa and anti-slavery alliance, but upon a man who, trom bis anti-Catholic and native American anteseden ta and opinions, will be acceptable to the invisible but dreadful oxder of the Know Nothings. Ready as were the Seward men to make this extreme concession, fur the sake of har- mony, and for the sake of a considerable body of voters, was it not reasonable to suppose that the Know Nothings would be appeased, and would consent at least to the re-election of W. H. Seward to the United States Senate? We think so. But it appears otherwise. The Buf falo organ of Mr. Fillmore says, that “if there is apy thing dear to the hearts of the Know No things, it is to wfite the political epitaph of the noted political managers to whom we have a)- luded’’— meaning W. H. Seward and his pecu- Nar clique of wire-workers and scon¢-shitters This ominous warning signifies that W. H. Sew- ard is to he superseded in the United States Senate, and that the object so “dear to the heart: of the Know Nothings” is the choice of suca a Legislature at our fall election as will be certain write the political epitath’ of the arch to agitator. Why is this? Let us see, The Kuow No things have their owa game to play. Their first chject 's to clear the political race-courze of all eutr'es tinctured with Irish-Cathotic antecedents, associations, or predilections; and of wll the political hucks'ering demagogues in the Unired Staes, W. H. Seward has boen the mo-t likeral in his blarney in behalf of our Irish Cath>\ic fellow-citizens. He has been as mekly the devoted servant of Archbishop Hughes as that meek and holy disciple who edits our distinguished prelate’s newspap:r organ. No man, in fact, has doae more and received Jess, in behalf of our Irish Catholic fellow-citizens, than our ill-used and much abused Senator Seward. They have not had faith in him—he was in the wrong party—they could not reconcile his position with his profes- siops—he was a slippery customer, a political trader, and his sincerity and his usefulness were doubtful. But he bas persevered, ‘until at length he bas almost persuaded the Archbishop brings letter bags from the ships of war Constita- | bims If t' a: he isa Chr'stian, lacking only the tion and Marion. The former was at Monrovia o» the 8th July, and the latter at Goree on the 1ith— ali well. The coast was very unhealthy, and the mortality has been severe, even among the accli- mated. A convention of ‘fusionists,” as they are uow called, was held at Wolfboro’, N. H., on Wednes day. We have commented on this affair in the edi torial columns. ‘The whole of the State loan of $1,250,000 was teken'up yesterday ata range of 112) # 116—the balk at 113}.

There was again a pretty active business done yesterday at the leading dry goods auction rooms. Messrs.

After having sold 589 lots the sale con- cluded, to be continued to-day.

It is at such a conjuncture of good relations that the terrible order of the cabalistic Know Nothings appears and con‘ronts our hope- ful Senater face to face. He has gone too far— he cannot recede. And so, making a merit of necessity, he rises up in his place in the Ame- rican Senate, and, declaring that he knows noth- ing of the Know Nothings, repudiates all poli. tical sympathy or association with them. “Dear tothe heart” of W. H. Seward is the precions jewel of consisténcy. Having defined his position, his organs ap- plaud it to the echo. But the terrible Know Nothings are nothing abashed. They are in- visible, but they are everywhere, as the suc- cessive elections, North, South, East and West abundantly prove. The overwhelming defeat of Col. Benton is especially calculated to strike terror into the Seward camp. What follows? Our leading organ in behalf of Seward and his projected Northern anti-slavery alliance lots up a jiitle on the Know Nothings, and dis. charges a broadside upon the bigotry, the follies and the crimes of the Irish Catholics. It ar- raigns them as false to religion and morality upon the temperance question, and challenges even the Archbishop to answer the indictment. But as the French Assembly said when a re gency was proposed in behalf of the family of “it comes too Inte.” If the Buffalo Commercial may be relied upon, nothing now will satisfy the Know Nothiogs but the “political epitaph” of W. H. Seward. Hence the unspegkable tribulation into which the violent philosphers of our elder Seward or- gan have fallen. They are seized with dismay The enemy which threatens them is invisible; but it is known to operate with a purpose and with effect. It may bea fleeting political apparition—the unsubstantial phantasm of aday. But what comfort does that afford, if during the day of its political existence, this mysterious order writes “ the political epitaph” of W. H. Seward? What becomes of his Pre- sidential programme, should a Legislature be chosen in November mysterionsly pledged against bis re-clection to the Senate?

Speculation upon results at this time is utterly useless, as the strength and inten- tions of the new organizations, (native aud temperance,) cannot be correctly estimated.

Narcisso Lopez will be celebrated this evening at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, by our Ouban feliow citizens. Democrats of all nations are invited to attend, and the French, Italian, Ger- man, Polish, and Hungarian societies wili be fully represented there. Several distinguished speakers, foreigners and Americans, are ex- pected to address the assombly; and the cere- mony altogether, we have no doubt, will pass off with more than usual interest. But though we admire the enthusiasm which would perpetuate the rememb:ance of great men and true patriots like Lopez, it does seem to us that the desrest wish of the Cuban mind is as far off its accomplishment asever, The political aspect of the sceinpre fiel isla bas remained unchanged during the last three ycars. The power of the opressor has increased, while the nower of the oppressed has rather diminished.

Oaze- nao Ww Sacsana If the Pier ¢ administration hes sunk into contem, t ble « becu ity at ho ne, it is certainly doing s met ing t»; alin notoriety abroad. The wor'd has 'ar ly recovered frem tne thrill of horro- wth wiih the news of tho Greytown outrage ws received, be ore we are notified that mischief is brewiog, under the ausp ces of an ageut of M rey’s, in the Dominican republic: On the 17.h of July last, the United States frigae Co'uu.b'a, the flag ship of the home squadron, ar: ived at Samana with Gen. Cazenau, United 8 ates diplomatic agent, on board: and the steamer Allany was announced as beiag on her way (0 the same port. The appearance ot these vessels seems to hive created much ap- prehens‘on im tho West Indies; some asserting that it was the design of our government to obtain by fraud or force 9 footing in San Do- mingo; others helieving that Gen. Cazenau’s miasion was merely to effect some changes in our intercou se with the Dominicans, aad espe- cial y to obtain a grant of certain privileges in the harbor of Samana. Such, however, is the dread which Spaniards entertain of American filibusterog, and such ~ since the Greytown out- rage—tbe distrust with which foreign nations regard our government, that the mere arrival of the Columbia has thrown the Spanish races in the Indies into a ferment. Samana bas long been ao theatre of diplo_ matic equabbles. When Louis Philippe was King of Fracce, he sent ships there, and con- trived to conclude a treaty with the Do- minican . government, by which extensive privileges were granted to the French in that harbor. His ministry seemed to consider that they had established o permanent footing there: and since that time, no change has been effected, to our know- ledge, in the relations between St. Domingo and France. Shortly after the French move- ment, a project was set on foot here to throw a body of Anglo-Saxon emigrants into the Do- minican territory, with a view of developing resources which the Spaniards did not seem capable of bringing to light. At the same time, various emissaries were sent to the island by our government, probably in order to as- certain the real condition of both Hayti and St. Domingo. The arrival of these envoys, to- gether with the rumors of the projects of colo- nization from hence, alarmed Canedo, then Governor of Cuba; and Senor Torriente, whose name has since gained some notoriety, was despatched in a steam vessel to Samana, to watch the progress of the movement that was apprehended from this country. Torriente re- mained there some time; but finding, as was the case, that no practical endeavors were being made to carry out the colonization pro- jects, he left St. Domingo and reported to his master that all was saie, Gen. Cazenau’s recent mission is the last event in the history; and of this we know nothing beyond the fact that he is creating considerable alarm among the Spaniards. Had we a government from which we could expect a sound and energetic foreign policy, we might reasonably entertain a hope that Gen. Cazenau’s mission would be followed by practi- cal benefits. It would not be difficult, we should imag'ne, to convince the authorities of San Domingo that we are the best allies they could have, and in every way preferable to the French. If they have given permission to the latter to occupy the horbor of Samana with vessels of war, we are entitled to a similar privilege; indeed, a re- fusal to place us on the same footing as the most favored foreign nation would be an act of constructive hostility against which it would become our duty to protest. We apprehend, however, that no such short sighted policy need be anticipated from the authorities of the Do- minican republic, if they are permitted to act independently. The only danger lies in the French influence, which has been so powerful in the councils of that State; anu element of trouble and discord which it would be well to convince the people of St. Domingo they ought forever to discard. The United States is the natural ally of San Domingo: France cannot honestly figure in that capacity, and only as- sumes the disguise in order to subserve private ends of its own. Nor would insuperable objections arise on the part of the Spaniards, if the old scheme of eending out afew ship loads of emigrants to San Domingo were again proposed. The peo- ple of the island must sce the advantage they would derive from the infusion of Anglo-Saxon energy into their society. ‘They cannot be blind to the backwardness of their agricultural and industrial condition; and it is only giving then credit for common sense to suppose that they are at least as anxious as foreigners to promote the prosperity of their country. One Spanish State—Venezuela—bas already ac- knowledged that an influx of Luropean or North American settlers is essential to her future welfare; a little reflection will certainly lead to s similar conviction in the Dominican mind. It is not easy to say how a scheme of colonization could be carried out, even if all parties were agreed respecting its expediency; but if the government of San Domingo made reasonable offers, something could probably be done. To us it would be an object to strengthen the hands of a government based on the same principles as our own, and ruling part of one of the finest islands in the West Indies. A handful of Americans, settled at Samana, and the other seaports, would soon restore the former wealth of the island; and aided by en lightened laws and a liberal policy on the part of government, might constitute a formidable breakwater against the approach of the two dangers with which the South is menaced— European usurpations and negro supremacy. The matter rests with the Dominican autho- tities. That Gen, Cazenau will do his daty, if the odministration will allow him, there seems no good reason to doubt. It would be absurd, however, to expect that cither Mr. Pierce or Mr. Maroy will realize the importance of his nogo- tiations, or contribute to his suocess, Proressor Esry’s Takory or Rain Expiop- p—It ia a part of the meteorological theory of Professor Expy that prodigious fire will so | heat the immediate atmosphere as to cause a grand rush of cold air and vapor to that point, and a shower of -rain, hail or enow.

The vulgar adag~ of ‘great ery and little wool” seems thus far to sum up pretty accu- rately the results of the Anglo-French opera- tions in the Balt'c and Black Seas. The cost of the fle-ce is, we must say, lamentably dispro- portioned to the returns, The glory won will, however, make up for the absence of more solid advantages. Tbe Russian fleet, it is true, still lies safely ensconced benind the granite fortifi- cations of-Sebastopol, and the submurine batte- ries at Cronstadt have «8 yet only astonished the piscine inhab tants of its waters. What of that? There isa time for everything; and the allies like to play their great cards fir-t. What are the invasion of the Crimea and the destraction of the outworks of St. Petersburg compared with the coup de force which has just shed so much lustre on the arms of the coalition? The Czar and old Nesselrode are no doubt by this time shivering in their shoes, The doom of the Muscovite empire is sealed; for Bomarsund has surrendered! We knew-full well, notwithstanding the im- patience manifested by the radical portion of the English press, that Sir Charles Napier cou'd not have been all this time idly beating about tbe Baltic, and scratching his old shock wig; without hitting upon some bright idea to retrieve bis damaged reputation, As procras- tination is in the eyes of the gallant old tar nearly equivalent to dishonor, we expected that he would make up for the time lost by some brilliant achievement, eclipsing the glory of his former feats. We have not been disap- pointed. He has not, to be sure, cut out the Russion fleet at Cronstadi, nor blown up the fortifications of Sweaborg, nor sent Revel to the devil. He has done a much more glorious thing—he has taken Bomarsund ! Bat few of our readers are probably aware of the strategetical advantages of Bomarsund, If they were, they would at once appreci:te the importance to the allies of this acquisition. We would enlighten them on the subject if we could; but as we cannot, they must take the thing for granted. They may rest assured, however, that the old hero of Beyroot would not have spent months meditating over the enterprise if there was not something to be gained by it. Besides the advantage of its forming a sort 0: sentry box to the Gulf of Fin- land, Bumarsund is situated in a first rate agri- cultural district. Now, we should be sorry to insinuate that the Admiral’s well known penchant for the pursuits of the farm yard had any influence in directing his attention to this enterprise. He may love cabbages well, but he loves his duty better. A little Aland farm would no doubt offer an agreeable occasional diversification to a long watch and ward in the Baltic; but we are certain that such an idea never entered his head. No, he took Bomar- sund for the simplest- of all possible reasons— namely, because it was the only place takeable. A fine tenable position will Bomarsund be in ® Polar winter. When the straits of Alandshaf on the one side, and thoge of Watuskiftet on the other, are closed up by ice, morning calls can be alternately exchanged with the Fins and Swedes—suppsing the Fins and Swedes to be in a visiting humor. The Czar himself may even be tempted to drive across in his sledge to see how his visiters are enjoying their health under the rigors of a Polar temperature. Ir. he does not carry his politeness to the extreme | of insisting upon the British Admiral and Gen. Baraguay d’Hilliers accompanying him back to St. Petersburg, they may look upon themselves as very much slighted. Should he take such a thing into his head, it is quite certain that they will not be in a position to refuse it. They could not have picked out a spot more favora- bly adapted for such eventualities. Let us hope that they will enjoy themeelves in Bomar- sund, It was not to be expected that a position en- joying such manifold advantages could be ob- tained without considerable sacrifices. For the fifty or seventy millions of dollars that have been expended by England and France in pre- parations for the war, the only acquisition as yet made is Bomarsund. It would have been cheap atany price, and it is therefore not to be wondered at that the allies were in a hurry to take it. We hope that they will keep fast hold of it, now they have got it. It is something to have to show for their money. Tae Loxpon Times axp THE GREYTOWN BomBaRpMENT.—As8 was expected, the London Times discovers nothing calculated to chal- lenge the world’s admiration in the bombard- ment of Greytown. Read tbe article on that subject, which we have transferred to our columns this morning. The administration is notified that Capt. Jolley will be sustained and reinforced with a good stiff ship or two. Our Cabinet have, therefore, no other alternative than to “ crawl off,” or send Capt. Hollins back again to finiech his work. Mr. Durand will, perhaps, require an increase of his bail, as secu- rity for his return to court at the appointed time, to answer for the destruction of certain Property; but that can be easily arranged be~ tween Mr. Redfield and John Cochrane. Capt. Hollins must go down again to Greytown. He has expressed a desire two fight two British vessels of the size of the Oyane; it is very likely he could whip them; and the sdminis- tration surcly are bound to give him a chanes. Is Marcy afraid of war? Did not Gen. Pierce, Gen. Davis and Gen. Cushing do good service in Mexico? Are they going to be bullied by John Bull? Will they deny to Capt. Hollins his wish? We are afraid they will, Will they send him down again to collect the Rorland in- demnities? We think not. Will they permit the British to take possession of the ruins of Greytown? Who answers for the administra- tion? AxotHen Corporation Srrik—We gave some weeks aince, @ full account of @ jolly ex- cursiop, bya number of jo!ly Aldermen and Councilmen, to vieita marble quarry in Ver- mont; also last week, a description of another tour for the ‘came purpo#é, and by the, same party, to Lee, Massachusetts. Yosterday, we understand, a number of members of the Com- mon Council left the city to visit another marble quarry. We trast that their geological, reeeatches will prove ploasant and profitable; but it: eeems evident that the New City Hall will not be commenced while there is a stone or marble quarry within five hugdred berets te York which remains’ uni by out City Fathers. The fun is too good to lose; and as the proprietors of the quarries take’ good care to provide excellent “mall stores,” the excur sions will probably be kept up till cold weattier’ sets in, and perhaps resumed, aeea sea mer, Itis cheap and pleasant of ob- taining recreation and-valawtlo a them a tural and hisitorial, iaformbtion at Heme os ko galhyose ods dite ach ty oe © tacuee Chronicle, the organ of the free demo- cracy, bas ths giving out.

Lavpanvm ror CHoLers.—We have been told by a number of respectable physicians, both in this city and Brook}; n, that they have no doubt. that a great many deaths bave been cau’ed this summer by the administration by ignorant persons of over doses of landannm to cholera patients. Laudanum is an excellent remedy in. the incipient stages of cholera, but it should be given with great caution. Italian Operas ENGAGEMENT OF GRISI AND MARIO. The auction eale of the tickets for Grisiaai Mario's first performance takes place to-day, and is looked for- ward to with interest, as 4 sort of anticipatory tsst of the. Prospects of their engagement. Should the result prove less favorable than is expected, we are not at all disposed to regari it as a discouraging eviience of tue Pub.ic feeting towards these distinguished singers. Ass community, we have passed thojage of great excitements; and much as we may admire and appreciate talent, it will never again be in the power of any artiat to elicit the fulsome adulation ana worrhip which rendere’ us on for- mer occasions 20 supremely ridiculous. With a more cultivated musics] taste than we had an opportanity of forming at the period to which we refer, we now know how to discriminate accurately between the merits of the different performers woo visit us; and the judicious and nicely critical test of our patronage is the highest reward that an artiss can receive. Whatever, therefore, may be the result of today’s sale, we believe that it will have bat little iafluence on the after results of the speculation. Madame Grisi and her hosban4 will not be- the less cordially supported because speculative trades- men no longer see a chance of converting into capital the musical enthusiasm of the multitude. Although the prices announced are considerably higher than the pedple of New York seem now disposed to pay for an evening’s entertainment at a theatre, considering the great reputation of the artists in question, and the large temptation which it was necessary to hold out to in- duce them to visit this country, it is nataral that Mr, Eackett should endeavor to secure himself against the risk of loss by fixing them at something like the same re. munorative rates under whieh in Europe it is impcasible to maintain an effective operatic corps. To the par- quotte at her Majesty’s theatre in London the admission.” ia two dollars and a half, while the prices of boxes into. which, with the exception of what is called the amphi- theatro, the remainder of the house is divided, range from twenty to fifty dollars. At the Italian Opera ia. Pazisand in Vienna the rates o? admission are almvust equally high. It is only in Italy that the frequent cn- joy ment of fine operatic music is compatible with a mo- derate income. At a period when our moneyad classes are seeking to rival the aristocracy of Europe in the laxa- riournees and extravagance of their habi:s, it is perzaps. not too much to expect that they will pay liberally for folly and selfishness.
