Delavan, in which he gives his ‘wiews adverve to a prohibitory liquor law more Slaborately and more decid: dly thanin his previous @emmunications on that subject. The Judge also Wakes occasion to comment upon the impolicy of the @emperance party in coalescing with the ultra anii Mave: y demagogues at Aubnrn and Syracuse, there- Ry attaching to the fanatical political issues of the @ay a purely moral question which ought never be omnected with such pestiferous influences. The eonduct of Mr. Clark, in endorsing the doctrines of the Anti-Nebraska Conventicn, is likewise animad- verted upon. THE MEETING AT TAMMANY HALL. Ola Tammany last night was the focus of fight felic and fun. Never since the Sachems first rected the Old Wigwam hse the fierce democravie been more humorous and uproarions than on th @ocasion of the soft shell demonstration last even img. The meeting was called for the purpose of ai- Jewing Covernor Se; mour an opportasity to explain his views on political matters generally, and the prokibitory liquor law partisulerly.

Owing to.a better Eastern demand, and some re @uction in receipts, the medium grades of Stax Alour were from 1240. 18c. per barrel higher yoster- @ay, while other descriptions were without altera- ‘tion of moment. Corn waa tolerably active at 75c. fer sound Western mixed, and it was stated tha: 200,000 bushels were sold, deliverable in November, @t 78c. Pork was lower, with free sales of mess at $12 62 a $12 50, about 1,000 bbis. having been sold onthe spot at the la‘ter figure. Cotton was firm, witb a feir amount of sales. Mestre. Van Wyck, Kobbe & Townsend, held a gpecial and peremptory sale of Frensh goods, con- sisting of ribbons,velvets, millinery, silks, &c., being the balance of the fall importations of Messrs. Benkard & Huiton. The catalogue comprised 359 Bots, all of which were sold, and about 100 lots of the velvets were duplicated. Tho sale drew a full and spirited house, and the goods were sold at full Prices. Meeste. Wilmerding, Hoguet & Humbert, held a Merge and special sale of rich Glasgow embroide- mies, being an entire importation of the present gweason. The catalogue comprised about 1,181 lots; all of which, with few exceptions, were sold. There were more lots duplicated tuan were passed. Tue prices obtained indicated eome improvement on previous sales of similar goods. Mesers. Wilmerdings & Mount held a catalogue male of carpets, which were disposed of at about the sual prices of previons sales this season. Tre mame .house also held a considerable wool sale, which indicated a wuch lower range of prices than Bhose obtained at the same period last year. Messrs. Coffin & Haydock helda moderate cata ‘Togue sale of French goods, which included Thibet shewis, French ginghams, woollen plaids, black casbmeres, Lyons eilks, velyots, &>., which brought prices fully equal to those of previous sales, and q@ustained the improved feeling previously noticed. ‘The auction sales the present week have been less ‘@utensive than those of the week previous; but the ‘improved feeling in staple seasonable goods was maintained. An opinion prevails that the heavi. eat stocks, especially of French goods, are pretty ‘well sold out, or will be in the course of next ‘week.

The exports of breadstaffs to Europe during the month of September have been exceedingly light. shere has also been a large falliag off in imports, and the decrease for the remaining months of the year is expected to be mnch greater. The large sales-ef goods made through the auction rooma in the earlier part of the season, mostly at lower rates than at which they could be imported, has effecta- ally checked itoportations for a time, avd may in the end tell on the revenue of the governuent. At the prevent period of high rates of sterling exchange, active shipments of epecie, and light exports of breadstafis, we find the resources of our country stil ample to meet this apparently threatening phase in our commercial affairs, and to sustain oar uational prosperity. The crop of cotton promises to bea full average one. It has commenced arriving nearly a month earlier than last year, and ia eald to be of fine qnality. Some sbipments of new cotton are already on the way to Liverpool, and before N>- vember sets in, at the present low rates of freights, the exports must become so large as to tell against the rates of exchange. With the decline of sterling bills shipments of specie will cease. The bavks remain strong, and the gold received from Californiaremains among us, Sterling exchange is olready easier, and closed on Weduesday at 9} to 97, and dnl at that, while last weck as high as 10 was obtained. Two or three of the last steamers have carried out Jess specie than was predicted. Abont $500,000 instead of $600,000, as first reported, went from Boston on the 27th, and $1,102,000 from thia port on the 30th ult., instead of $1,300,009 as predicted, and less than one million yesterday, which was the sum confidently predicted. No cout sidersble parcel is likely to be again shipped from this side until the sailing of the Collins steamer on the lith October. In the meantime we shall pro- hably again receive over two millions of zold from Californie. Cotton and gold are things which, with econcmy and prudence, will sustain and carry the country through its difficulties in triumph. THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Daniel Webster pronownced upon the party whose strongest bulwark he had been, the orsculer sentence that efter November, 1852, it would have ceased to exist. With hie pr i phetic glance, he had fireseen events wrappea in the womb of that year’s coxtest, and hidden tothe public eye. The our of delivery has come. The nominations for State officers which have been made by the whig party within the laet few weeks are completing the work of de- struction foretold by the Massachusetts states- man, Far and wide, the adoption of Clark, Raymond, Fitzhugh, and Bowse by the Whiz Convention of New York, and the erection of a platform in accordance with the well known tendencies of these persons, have riven the old whig party into shrede, and set every man’s hand against his feliow. Total disruption can- not fail to follow in the course of a few weeks. The whigs of the South, as in duty bound: have fraukly and plainly cut themselves adrift from their former allies at the North. “We not only,” says the Richmond Whig, “ dis- annul ail present connection with such whigs as the Syracuse Convention represents, but we will co-operate without reference to party, with any and all good men and true who are re- eolyed to stand by the Union, and maintain its legitimate and constitutional action in its pro- per sphere.” “ We can hold no fellowship with such a set of men,’ says the Danville Register (whig); “it matters not with us what may be their political appellation, we repudiate all party affiliation with them.” Scores of other Southern whig journals hold the tame language. The Roanoke Republican “claims no fellowship with the New York whigs.” The Piedmont Wig and others copy the remarks of the Richmond Whig and adopt them as their own. Throughout the South, so far as it has been heard from, the action of the late convention is regarded as having severed the last link which united the Northern and Southern whigs, and deprived the party name of any practical importance or signification. Nor are these symptoms of dissolution con- fined to the South, whose material intercsts might be said to have forced upon her the inde- pendent position she has assumed. A strong ery has arigen from the conservative whigs of the North, whose moral principle is shocked at the attempt io pervert their party faith. The Courier and Enquirer is dissatistied with the platform and the ticket. The Commercial Aa- vertiser, in an article marked by far more than its usual vigor, points out that the candidates arrayed under the whig banners, are aboli- donists, not whigs; and unequivocally warns i that they cannot expect the undivided rt of the whigs of thie State. “ Whore are ¢ principles, and where is the whig party is the giet of an artigic im the Roghoster Daily the effects of that blow, it is hardly possible that whiggism ean recover.

The people of the United States will need to find some other pame, and some other party flag to take the place of the whixs, and divide the nation with the democrats. In great national contests there is no place for sectional combatants. Constitutional governments can only be worked usefully by rival parties; but each and all of these must agree on certain fundamental principles, or the contest between them ceases to be constitutional, and becomes a struggle between order and revolution.
