We continue elsewhere our report of the proceed- fings of tne soft «boll democratic State Convention at Sy acuee, which was abru,.tly broken offoa Wed- mesday night by the prevalence of electricity in the atmosphere. The administration wire-pullers ont- witted their opponents in the construction of the platform, wh'ch is composed principally ofa com- promise on the Nebraska act, a repudiation of the Know Nothings, free trade and free farms, com li menta to Genera! Pierce and Governor Seymour, god the vena! byfalutin touches about preserving the Union and devotion to the pri les of the na- tional democracy. The task of disposing of the Nebraska act was a delicate and difficult as we!l a3 @iabvori us one, if we may judge by the leogth of ‘Mme the majority of the committee were engaged mit. Butthey succeeded, and the resolution on Wat subyct isa model in its way. The minority veport is flat-footed against the ‘‘ iniquity,” as itis termed; ani after an unsnccessfa! effort on the part ‘wf ites sponsors to substivute it for the resolution of the majority, Preston King and three otuer dele- gates withdrew. The opponents of the office hold- ers, however, did not cease in their hostility after this defeat, and the debate on the platform was characterized by great bitterness. As the prime ebject of the conveation had been attained by the adoption of un expression of opinion on the Ne- braska question which it was well known would meet the approbation of the administration, the nc. mination of Governor Seymour for re-election and We formation of a ticket for State officers was . @ matter of little diffonlty and less importance. Notwithstanding the (Governor's letter very posi- tively declining a nomination, it is thought the gofta will stick to him till he surrenders. ‘The following is the ticket of the soft shell de- Horatio Srvmour, of Oneida Co.

FIBES—A MAN BURNED TO DEATH. Atsmible affair took place in Tenth street yes- terday morning. An elderly man was barned to death in a grocery store, caused by setting fire to some spirite. A report of the calamity will be found under the bead of fires. At aboot nine o’clock lest night Mr. Johnson’s distillery, in Sixteenth street, was destroyed by fire. Loss estimated at about $60,000, A report will be found elsewhere. STATE OF THE MARKBTS. ‘There was no change to notice of moment in Iweadstoffs yesterday.

It appears that since the adoption of the stamp duties in Evgland the government, desiring to in- crease ita re venues to meet the emergencies of war, bas imposed a duty of 1-16th per cent sterling on all foreign bills remitted for payment to that couo- try, most of which are payable in Loudon or Liver pool. Tui duty, it is believed, will havea teadencsy to depress the value of sterling.bills to the amonat of the same ia this country before transmission, and act to the same extent in retaining specie here. Toe measure, we understand, is not relished hy leading bankers and bill drawers, and especially by those in this city. Some think that it is the begia- ning of a revolution, and that is may, if perseve:ed in, lead to a change from London to New York as a great financial centre for the regulation of transactions in bills of exchange. The duty re ferred to amounts to 124 cents on the $100, or about one eighth per cent. The Repubiican Party in Spain—Policy of Our Administration, The last accounts from Spain represent the new constitutional goveroment as struggling under the most formidable difficulties. The juntas of the different cities are asserting their right to independent action ; the leaders of the republican party are every where making their influence felt, either in the partial disturbance of public order, or in a successful resistance to the measures of the new government; and to these elements of anarchy are added the inter- ruption of trade and the ravages of the cholera, two effective auxiliaries of political agitators. In Cadiz, Seville, Malaga, Alicante, Saragossa, and even in Madrid itself, all these disturbing eauses are actively at work, and it is feared, even by the warmest friends of the Espartero ministry, that it will be unable to make head against the dangers that menace its existence, The Spanish capital has become a resort for political refugees from all parts of Europe, and in all the principal towns and cities clabs are being organized on the model of those which were established in Paris after the Revo- lution of February. The Masonic order, which has been so frequently made a political instru- ment of in Spain, has again been diverted from its legitimate objeets, to subserve the purposes of the revolutionary party. The Grand Lodge at Madrid has become the focus of repub- lican action, and through its numerous ramifications in the proymces a vigorous system of propagandism is being carried on, the results of which are daily making themselves manifest in succcessful ouibreaks, in which the authority of the government is set at deflaace and the popular will placed above the majesty of the laws. With public opinion thus industrionsly un- dermined, with a dynasty whieh has fallea into contempt, and that has yet to submit to the last crushing ordeal of public humiliation, and with men at the head of affairs who can only govern by endeavering to reconcile elements that can never be brought to amalgamate, it is not to be wondered at that the general feeling in Spain should be that of distrust, apprehen- sion and vague speculation as regards the fu- ture. In such a condition of things as that which we have just described, it is evident that the least false step upon the part of the gov- ernment will precipitate another explosion. Its position at the present moment is as embarrass- ing as can well be conceived. The Juntas are calling out loudly for the impeachment of the Queen Mother, and unless previous to the as sembling of the Cortes some meanscan be con- trived of averting that miserable necessity— such, for instance, as a connivance at her escape —there will speedily be an end tothe new con- situtional régime and to the revived popular- ity of the Duke de Vittoria. Judging from his cantious antecedents and monarchical ten- dencies, we do not believe that Espartero will bea party to any violent measures against the Queen Mother, which would have not only the effect of trailing in the dust the dignity of the crown, but of en- suring the triumph of the republican party, Matters have in fact arrived pretty nearly at the same pass as when, previous to the first revolution in France, the more moderate friends of consfutional liberty endeavored to shield the throne against the assaults and encroachments which they foresaw must lead to its downfall and to the subsequent triumph of anarcby. Differing widely in their charac- teristics and in the sources of their influence, the positions of Mirabeau and Bspartero offer many points of resemblance. Drawa towards the court by class interests, and towards the people by his love of power, Espartero, like the Frevch tribune, will endeavor to conciliate voth, and will thus at once lose his bold over the public mind, and his opportunity of guiding to great and stable results the policy which he was called upon to inaugarate, As might be expected in this chaos of con- fligting interests and prospects, foreign infiy- anticipate the decisio) of those vital questions whieh are to be submitted to the Cortes. Our own m nister, Mr. Soulé, aod the English Am- baesdor, L rd Howd p, are said to be—each in bis Way—sctvey engaged in pusbving {be views of their respective cabinets. The English government, contemplating the ine vitable reeults of the proceedings about to be adop ed ageinst the Queen Mother, are seek- ing to provide against the probability of Teats Na’s abdication, by strengthening that in- terest which they believe will be mo-t favor- able 10 1h-ir traditionat policy. They will be for either raising the infaot daughter of the present Queen to the thraue, or fur uniting the crowns of Spain and Portngal in the person of Don Pedro, Should they find the current of popular feeling to run too strongly against the present dynasty to accomplish the first of these projects, they will faitback npon the second; but in both they will be thwarted by the Freuch Emperor. Sooner than aggin place’a Bourbon upon the throne, or consent to the creation of an Iverian kingdom, he will take no steps to frustrate the effbrla of the Spanish republicans. Curions to ray, bie polley and that of oar present administration ar¥ ‘nearly identical. M Soulé is not ovly secretly encouraging and stimulating the movements of the yepudlicaa party throughout Spain, but be has instructious to offer them pecuniary aid when the prover time ariives for it—that is to say, when their chances of success impart something like validity to their promises. In the meanwhile a stipulation wil] be made that on the event of their coming into power, Cuba shail be de livered over to this country as a security for the sums advanced. As it is not probable that they will ever be repaid, the island will remain quietly in our hands. Such, in a few words, is the Spanish policy of our present administration, But, it will be asked, what has the French Emperor to gain by allowing the Spanish re- publicans to uproot the existing ovder of things, and to plant the red flag upon the Escurial? We answer that nothing could be better calcu- lated to further bis views. Before twelve montbs of such a regime would have expired, the suicidal differences that would arise be- tween the moderate republicans and the social- ists would afford hima pretext for marching an army to Madrid, and placing one of his own family upon the throne. “What has heen,” as the Spanish proverb says, “ may be again.” This time. we trust that it is one of the Ame- rican Bonapartes that will have the chance of the windfall. What a singular concatenation of royalty would that be which presented to usan American sovereign anda Spanish mo- narch in the same person! King Jerome would probably have enough of the old leaven left in him not to be in a hurry to redeem the pledge deposited in our hands by his republi- can predecessors. As the chances of fate might, some day or other, drive him back amongst us to resume his fractional share of pepular dominion, he would, no doubt, leave us ‘the Queen of the Antilles, by way of what the Trich lawyer called “a contingent reversion in his own favor.” whe Soft Shell State Convention—The Custo: House Clique Triumpnant=-fhe Vomina ons and the resolutions, Captain Rynders and John Cochrane have earned their bread and butter at Syracuse They deserve well of the Cabinet and the Kitchen Cabinet. Heppen what may, they are entitled to their full share of the plunder during the existence of this administration. They con- trived to beat Preston King and the intractable free soilers of the “rural districts,” as gl - riously and victoriously as the allies managod the capture of Bomarsund. They carried their circular and rotary platform on the Nebraska question, and they carried the nomination of Seymour, atter a fashion, in spite of himself, and in the teeth of a majority of the conven- tion. ‘ In the absence of John Van Buren, we repeat that thisis well done, whatever may be the consequences. True, the work was not accom- plished with that smoothness and grace which would have characterized the proceedings un- der the lead of the Prince ; but though the car. pentering of Messrs. Rynders and Cochrane is comparatively rough, the dovetailing is splen- did. Let us begin with the resolutions. Skill and tact were required in getting a man just of the right stuff on the committee; but in gain- ing the proper man for President, the resolu- tions were virtually secured. The second resolution declares “that the in- troduction of the clause in the Kansas and Ne- braska bill, repealing the Miseouri compromise, was inexpedient and unnecessary;’ but that, upon the whole, they think it will work well for free soil inthe new Territories. This resolu- tion, we doubt not, is by authority from Wash- ington, and is an ungrateful attempt on the part of the Kitchen Cabinet to throw the whole re- sponsibility of the “repeal of the Missouri compromise” upon the shoulders of Judge Douglas. Surely this onght to satisfy the country free soilers, as peace offering from the administration. Yet itis manifest, from the retirement of Prestoa King & Co., that it won't do. And weare very sorry for it. In the third resolution the softs record with pride the vote of New York in 1852 for Pierce and King. Great vote that. It secured the bulk of the spoils to the mere fag ends of the party. They also approve the vetoes of Gen. Pierce in a general way, “and the attitude assumed in support of the American name abroad,” which, we suppose, can only refer to the repudiated Kozsta letter of Secretary Mar- cy, the circulars on diplomatic coats and breeches, and the bombardment of Greytown. The third resolution ia, therefore, as full of mat- ter as an egg is of meat. In the fourth resolution the Custom House insist upon it that the “Union must and shall be preserved,” so that we may feel pertectly easy upon that score. In the fifth they repudi- ate ina roundabout way the platform of the Know Nothings, They handle this mysterious and terrible fraternity as softly as possible; but how could they do better when they de- sired to avoid giving offence to the Kaow Nothings, and to satisfy the Irish Catholics at the same time. In the other resolutions there is a good deal of “leather and pranella;” but in adopting the principle of free farms toactual squatters, the Custom Honse Committee are very explicit and decided. From this we iufer that Gea. Cass was right in his opinion that Gen. Pierce would sign the Free Farm bill; for if Mr. John Cach- rane does pot know the intentions and policy otthe President, we should like to be informed who does, except Col. Forney. This plattorm was adopted when Preston a'r, and to consnit upen some p'an of rebeltiog. The next move was the Governor; and Horatio Seymour is reported as baving reeeived the n« mination “by a very fa nt vote—not twenty delegates vi ting.” This is tbe worst feature of the whole proceeding. When a man Is nomi- nated for a discourazing con est, in spite of his teeth, he ought to be nominated by acclamma- tion with three times three and a tiger, as in the care of Broneon. It serves to keep uv something of enthueia:m and courage in his behalf, and to make him a lion to stand by. But when a map in opposicion to his own re- monstrances «nd wishes, is taken up, and has ais veto of the Maine liquor law approved, and is then nominated onty by a very “faint vote,” tlere isa ruinons collapse ia the machinery. The “faint vote” by which the Governor was thus nominated, will be very apt to resalt in a very ‘faint vote” ia the election. The proceedings subsequent to the nomina- tion of the Governor were very weil adapted to reconcile the revolt upon the platform. Very true, the Custom House party carried their reso- lutions, including the Kozsta letter and the bombardment of Greytown, but frum that mo- ment a general suspicion of disaster seems to have fallen over the whole concern. Their en- thusiasm died away into distrust, with the re tirement of Preston King & Company in dis- gust. Their deliberations, from that unfortu- nate defection, lo-t all heart, all hope, all con- fidence, and were carried through mechani- cally, a3 with the conviction that Nebraska, though not too strong a dose for the free soilers of the Custom House, wit « little seasoning, was still more than the dainty stomachs of their brethren of the interior had bargained for. In this pitiful plight the ragged fag ends of the New York . administration have cut out their work for our November elections. But the game of the Custom House clique was the spoils, These they have secured. These they will hold. AJ) the rest is but a painful mock- ery of the miseries of the administration. Tue ApministRation Eprpemio—Suorr Crors—A regular epidemic of mutiny, dis- cord and revolution seems to prevail in the diminished rabks of the administration demo- eracy everywhere. Frequently breaking out in Congress during the last session, and only prevented from breaking up the Cabinet through the force of the spoils, this violent party dis- ease has since diffused itself throughout the country like the cholera. We are not aware of avy administration party assemblage since last December which has not been signalized by fuch scenes of “noise and confusion,’ more or less, ag those which have lately destroyed the efficiency of Tammany Hall, of the spoilsmen of New Hampshire, and the prestige of the “public plunder.” Among our late political advices, we are in- formed that the Democratic County Conven- tion had met at Pittsburg, nominated a candi- date for Congress, passed resolutions approving the pational and State administrations, and de- nunciatory of the Know Notbings, and that “the convertion then adjourned amidst great contusion.” This looks very omisous for the Pennsylvania Octover election. The fact is. we almost despair of the administration and Col. Forney, in the Old Keystone State. The administration epidemic appears to be as viru- lent and as fatal there as in New Hampshire or Tammany Hall; and the drought and the hot weather have only contributed to make it worse and worse. Short crops for the Cabinet everywhere—very short. Mx. Bewonr mx Bratvess.—One of our co- temporaries finds fault with the Minister to the Hague because he is filling up his spare time in shaving the Iame ducks among his Datch Majesty’s speculating subjects. But why not? If Mr. Belmont can attend to the case of Capt. Gibson, and the unsettled bill of indemnities due to one of our citizens on account of the crown jewels of the Prince of Orange, and still have sufficient time upon his hands for profitable operations among the bulls and bears of the Hague, why should he not play his hand with the best of them, we should like to know? There is nothing, we believe, in the constitution pro- hibiting such amusements. Mr. Belmont may open a grocery store for the sale, at prices to suit the times, of Dutch codfish, mackerel and herring; and if the establishment does not in- terfere with his diplomatic functions, we pre- sume that Marcy will be satisfied. Or he may open a large clothing establishment, with all the latest styles of our diplomatic costume on hand, according to the circulars of the State Department, and what right have we to com- plain? The result of Mr. Belmont’s present diplomatic mission will probably be @ final re- port that although “the Dutch have taken Holland,” he has taken the Dutch. Close shaving is the true policy for the Hague. Sm Hammiron Seymour anv Dr. Corrmay.— The famous ambassador who figured in the confidential correspondence with Nicholas, a short while, writes a letter to the London Times, which we publish elsewhere, and in which an attempt is made to impeach Dr. Cottman’s veracity. The Doctor stated that Sir Hamil- ton’s effects had been shipped on board the Anne McAlister; which the ambassador denies, It is probable that the former mistook the name of the vessel on board of which the effects were shipped : whether it was or was not the Anne McAlister is a matter of no consequence. The important point was to ascertain whether the Czar had or had not, as was charged by the Times and Sir H. Seymour, seized and detain- ed the property of the latter, con‘rary to in- ternational usage and etiquette. Dr. Cottman said he had not, and in proof alleged that Nicholas had offered to send them to England by way of Prussia, at his own expense. This most material allegation Sir H. Seymour acknowledges to be true; and in so doing, to our mind, entirely destroys the fan- cifal fabric on the strength of which both he and the British journals have represented the Czar esa lawless barbarian, in whose hands the property of an ambassador was not safe. ‘Tor OreRsA —This is the last night of Grisi and Mario in “‘Lucrezia Borgia’ at Castle Garden. Marine Affairs. Tus Cuvrsr Simp Suxxy Sours was successfully Inunched at 10 o’clock yesterday, by Mr. Geo. Steers, from the foct of Twelfth atreet, East River. ‘Tur S7RANAMIP SANTA ANNA, built at this port for the Mexican govornment, left ber wharf on East iver on Wednesday atternnon, at 3 o'clock, to make an engineer's trial trip. The ship wos built by the Mesrca. Wes- tervelt, and is furnished with two oncillatlag engines, bnilt by the Farren Iron Works. She performed—asvori- ing to the opinion of scientific gentlemen p' vory well, making, by Neogus’ patent log, 734 knots In 38 minutes—equalling 12 knots per hour—with sixteon revolutions of engines and twelve pounds of steam. She fully realized the expeciat of contracton builiera and engineers, and there is no reason to doubt bat that she is one of the finest ateampie of her class in the King & Company retired to get little fresy | world, Tus Assistant Sxcartaky or State 1 Panis —One of the most interesting it»ms of our for- eign ictelligence yeeterday, was the anvounce- ment, in the letter of one of our Paris corres- pondente, of the arrival of the Hon. Dadley Mann, Assistant Secretary of State, in that | city. oe correspondent is embarrassed regarding | the object of this extraordwary visit at this ex- | truordinary crisis in European affairs. We | think, however, that Marcy’s desire to be fully enlightened upon the offairs of Europe, is at | the bottom of this confidential mission. In this | view, it is very likely that among the delicate duties assigned to Mr. Mann is the very impor- tant one of sounding the Emperor ia reference to his policy towards the revolutionary govern- ment of Spaic, and the still more difficult task of aecertaining exactly the opinious of the Em- press Eugenia upon Spanish affairs and the question of “manifest destiny.” The Emprews must feel a lively interest upon these things, and ber counsels and influence with the Emperor may bave much to do with the final settlement of the unsettled affairs of both Spain and the island of Cuba. Another object of Mr. Mann’s visit is to give, we presume, such timely “aid and comfort” to Mr. Soulé as the embarrass ments of his position may demand, provided he will submit to anything of that kind. Had Congress granted the discretionary ten m llionsasked for by the Presideut, there would be no difficulty at all in understanding the meaping of Mr. Mann's appearance in aris at this time. As it is, he may have some such an-. ticipated grant from Comgress in his budget At all events, we'feel pretty well assured that if Mr. Mann has gone over on the Cuba busi- ness, he will return to Washington about as wise as when he left it. Cuba is not yet ripe. Wattace’s THEATRB—This theatre’was opened last evening, after the summer’s recess, in the presence of a large and fashionable audience, notwithstanding the in- tense heat of the weather. We have slready spoken of the alterations recently made in the building. They con- sist chiefly in interior decoration—a decidec improve- ment by the way, as it gives a brilliancy and a cheerful- vess to the general appearance of the house. The first piece selected for the evening’s entertainment was Bour- cicault’s comedy of ‘The Irish Heiress.” Though no novelty it was well received, and the different characters ‘Were sustained with that taste and ability which distin. guish the performances at Waliack’s theatre. Mr. Blake, looking remarkably well, as Lord Daventry, was asab- surdly funny ssever. Mr. Lester, as Percy Ardent, and Mr. Brongham,as Major Fuss, were both capital. Mrs. Hoey, as Nora Miriam, and Mrs. Brougham, as Mrs. Comfort, were equally happy in the parts allotted te them. At the end of the comedy, Fignorits Soto made her fizet appearance in a pas seul, which she executed with a charming grace.

Altogethor, last evening’s performance may be regarded as asuccesaful epeniog of ike season. ee ‘Mr Consry’s Bengrir at Ninio’s GaRDFN —One of the chief attractions and most plessant features at Mr. Niblo’s really beautifully house is the courteous atten- tion to the comforts of visiters, and it is due to Mr. Cor- byn to say that he has ably carried out Mr. Niblo’s views in this respect, and many thousands who visit the garden are indebted to his prompt and quiet attention for much of the enjoyment to be found there. Mr, Corbyn’s claims ‘upon the public in this regard would be sufficiant to en- sure hima bumper benefit with even ordioary attrac. tions; but his friends in the profession have ralfed around him in great strength, and have thus enabled him to present a most attractive variety of entertain. ments to-morrow evening. Among a host of talented people who have volunteered, we may mention the whole f the great Havel family, Mile. Yroa siath:aa, Paul Bril- lant, Paul Julien, the ted youthful violinist, ia. Chromé, from the Opera francais; Mesars. Frazer, Caupveng, Blonsin and Seogwick, ‘irs.’ Pronk Kea, Siguor Ja Wanna, and Eugene Fevelon. Such a muster ot ar tistic talent proves that Mr. Corbyn is-as popular with thg profession as with udlic, and must insure him a . ant audience.
