By the errival of the Canada we have one week Mater intelligence from Purope. The news which she brings, embracing as it does deiails of the Cri- wean expedition, will be read with intereat. On Sept. 14 the allied forces, consisting of 25,000 French, 25,000 English and 8,000 Turkish troops ‘were disembarked at Eupatoria, within twenty-five Yeagues of Sebastopol, without encountering any @pposition. The stragetic motives for this passive- meas on the par! of tie Russians we have adverted to fally in our leading article. To stock jobbers it farniched grounds for the rumor—which is stated, hy the bye, with a great show of minuteness as re gard: dates—that the Oxar had consente i to avvept | she four propositions laid down as the basis of ne gotiations by the coelition, and that an armistice would be the consequence. It was scarcely neces mary for the London Times to give a formal contra @ic'ion toso absurd a report. Matters have gone ‘too far now to be settled in this offhand way. It wil! be neen by the statements in the western journals, and also byaletter from one of ourown corres: pondents, that the Russians were prepared to give their invadera a warm reception. From the other points of hostilities there is but ttle of positive importance. There isa ramor of Odessa having been again bombarded, bat itis considered doubtful, whilst in Asia Schamy] is said to have gained another victory over the Russiaus, the eftect.of which, it is thought, will be to compo) the latter to relinguish all idea of conquest iu Porkich Armenia. The King of Belginm had induc:d his late mini:- try to withdraw their resignations, and was about #0 pay a visit to Switzerland and Germany, which it was thought was connected with sme project of mediation between the coalition and Russia, The King of Greeve has cried pescavi to the Sultan, and offers to grants treaty of commerce to the Porte a8 an indemnification for bis conduct. The evacaa- tion of the Principalities by the Russiaus is com pkte. The commersiai and financial news is given fa another column, THE STF AMSUIP ARCTIC. By the arrival of the Canada we have received intelligence regardioy the Arctic, and the weather which she undoubtedly encountered shortly after yeaving Liverpool, which loads to the belief that she Yecame disabled and put back or made a harbor ia senie other;ort.

STATE OF THR MARKETS. Flour was beter yesterday, and all medium grades cloeed at an advance of 12}c. per bbl. Southern mixed wheat sold at $1524. Indian cora also ad- vanced about one cent to ove and a half cents per bushel. Pork closed at about the previous day's prices. About 1,100 bales of cotton were sold at steady prices. Toere was some better feeling in freights after the receipt of the Cagada’s newa, and rather more offering. ‘NEB HOMICIDE AT THE ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL. ‘The interest-in this case becomes more and moro manifest as the investigation progresses. The medi- cal testimony, and the evidence of the widow of tic deceated elicited in the proceedings yesterday, will be perused with mush interest, both by the scientific and the general reader. The cas: for the prosecu- tion has closed. Mr. A. Oakey Hall opened the case on the pat of Dr. Graham, and one witness for the defence had been examined at the rising of the Cour’. The issue will, in all probability, be sabmit- ted to the jory this evening. THR DRY GOODS TRADE. ‘The auction sales yesterday were somewhat on the average order, though a majority of the leading rooms were occupied in making sales, Among teu Messrs. Vanwyck, Kobbe & Townsend, who held & catalogue sale of foreign and domestic dry goods, consisting of broadclotts and cassimores, and tailor ing goods. Some of the German cloths were heavy, but other descriptions, which were high priced and seasonable, were sold at rather improved prices, making the eale an average and satisfactory one to owners. Messrs. Wilmerdings & Mount held a moderate catelogue sale of woollen’, ta'loring goods, &c., in clnded in which were 331 lote. The sale dre# a fair and spirited house. A few lots of silk vestings were passed, while all the woollen goods were sold. Messre. 8. H. & C. W.

Great excitement and commotion have fol- Jowed among the Seward coalitionists, Their alarm is betrayed in their leading jouraals, in It breaks up the coalition estimates and throws every- It issaid that the Know Nothings claim one hundred and fifteen thon- sand men in this commonwealth, and that they eny they can bring this force to the polis ina If this be so, and if they have nominated Ullman in reality, these one hundred and fifteen thousand votes are all good for Dani) on the day of judgment, though spite of their efforts to disguise it. thing into confusion. solid mass on election day. not quite enough perhaps to elect him. Here, then, we have four prominent nomina- tions for Governor—democratic hard shell and coalition-anti-slavery-Maine law whig, and Know Nothing—Bronson, Seymour, Brongon, from his conser- vative opinions on the slavery question and soit shell, Clark and Ullman. the temperance question, and from his well known abilities and high character, is deserved- ly popular among the conservatives of all perties. His friends were becoming sanguine of a powerful lift from the silver grays, and even from the Kuow Nothings, especially upon the ground of free soil tious. Upon his open antagonism to platforms this schedule the hards had counted upon the defeat of Clark, the anti- slavery coalition candidate, as a contingency by no means impossible. But this nomination of Ullman, iftrue, changes the relative weight of the figures upon the chess board very ma- terially. The aggregate available popular vote of this State is not less than 550,000. We should not be surprised if, from the pre- sent excitement on the great questions of the day, nearly all of this vote were to be polled in November. Gen. Scott’s vote, in 1852. was some 235,000, Plerce’s 262,000, Hale’s 25,500, scattering 500. vote of the State of all kinds, all together, in- eluding free soilers and abolitionists, tempe- rance men, Kuow Nothings and all, to be 265,000, and that of the 115,000 Know Nothings of the State 100,000 are drawn from the origi- nal whig camp, it follows that the independent nomination by the new order of natives of Daniel Unman as their candidate, will be a loss of 100,- 000 votes tothe Seward whig nominee. Now, as- suming that the united forces of the democrats, could they all be brought together, upon some great and distinct line of division, as between the two old parties, would be equal to 285,000 votes, and assuming, further, that this force is now equally divided between hard shells and soft shells on federal and local issues, it gives for Bronson 142,500 votes, and the same num- ber for Seymour. Deducting from the whig coalition vote 100,000 men and transferring them to Ullman, it still leaves Clark 165,000 strong; and allowing a deduction of 7,500 from each of the two democratic parties for the Know Nothings, the strength of Seymour and of Bron- son is diminished each to 135,000 votes, leaving Clark still 30,000 ahead of either. To defeat him, therefore, under the new order of things, the silver grays will have to poll over that number of votes, while it is estimated that that section of the party does not number more than 25,000 votes. What, then, will be the operation of this Know Nothing nomination of Uliman? The election of Clark and the triumph of Seward. Ts Clark is not their man, we should think it wculd be the policy of the Know Nothings to defeat him, The concentration of their vote of 115,000, or any thing near it, upon either Bronson or Seymour would do this; but upon Ullman it is thrown away, aud Seward gets all the benefit of the diversion. Besides this, ia the triumph of the Seward coalition the prestige of the Know Nothings will be broken, and their assumed invincibility will vanish with their de- feat, They cannot elect an independent candi- date. To make their vote effective against Seward, the natives must side with Bronsoa or Sey- mour. The peculiar position of the latter ut- terly forbids their co-operation with him; the conservative position of the former renders a janction less difficult in that direction. But it would be # crushing blow to the vaunted pow- er of this secret political order if, by their independent support of Uliman, they should ef- fect the election of Seymour. And the whole- sale liquor interest, and the retail whiskey and Jager bier interest, and the spoils of the admin- istration, make our present Governor a candi date worthy of being taken into the general es- timates of loss and gain. We understand, bowever—though we know nothing upon the subject—that the late Stare Couneil of the Know Nothings made no posi tive nomination for Governor—that the uomi- vaiion of Ullman was a sham intended to blind the Seward eavesdroppers; but that, upon the question of the Lieutenant Governor the whig nominee will fuel that the brotherhood are in earnest, while Elijah Ford, the bard sheli map, will be astonished at bis overwhelming popularity at the polls, This looks more like a business operation. As for an iadependent Know Nothing candidate for Governor it js Danie! Ullman, of New York. The Seward organs of this city, keen and anxious upon the trail of the Know Nothings, profess to have discovered the result of their Grand New York State Council the other day, and announce it to be the nomination of Dan- iel Ullman (silver gray whig) as the indepen- dent candidate of the Know Nothings for Gov- aud free soil affilia- At our last State election there were only three-fifths of this vote cast, so that it affords no basts what- ever for present estimates.

The Crimean Expeattion and lta Prosprets, The unop osed <isembarkation of the expedi- tionary army of the allies in the Crimea, bas, as might be expected, excited great exultation both i: E gland ani France. Those unac- quainted with ‘he natural difSculties of the country aid the elements of resistance that have been quietly accumulating on th» ecene of ope- rations for the Jast few months, are neturally in- success of the campaign. We are, therefore, not surprised to find the Constantinop!e agents | of the London ant Paris stock «xchange specu- | lators anticipating the wished for result by the | propagation of rua r that bear upon the face of them the stump of absurdity. It was reported, and very generally believed in that city, that after all his energe:ie declarations aad prepara- tions for resistance, the Czar had, at the eleventh hour, displa, ed the woite feather, and, territied by the dangers that menaced his shores, sigai- fied bis acceptance of the four propositions laid down by the coalition as the basis of negotia- tions. So improbable a statement could only have found temporary eredit in the joyful ox- citement caused by an apparent success. We make use of the term ‘“apparent’’ advisedly, for itis far from clear to us that the numolested landing of the allies is to be taken either 43 an indication of weakness or of bad generalsbip an the part of the Russians. With an extensive coast to watch, and one all-jmportant position to defend from assaults both by sea and land, it seems to us that the Czar has exercised a wise discretion ia not di- viding and weakening his strength by seeking to protect the whole line of the Crimean sea- board against the uncertain operations of a fleet posacssed of the most powerfal war mate- riel that has as yet been employed for the pnr- pose of invasion, and manned by the most skil- ful tailors and troops in the world. Had he attempted to do so, he might, owing t> the fa- cilities possessed by the allies of transporting their forces by sea from point to point, have been taken at a disadvantage which would have se- riously affected the ultimate fate of the cam. paign. The Russian plan of operations seems, from wha we to be that to which Na- poleon owed f his success, namely: that of bringing ring masses of troops to bear upon t! points of the enemy. To ef- fect this olject it is in this case necessary to draw the invaders into the interior of the coun- try, to separate them as far as possible from the moral as well as material support afforded by the proximity of the fleet, and then to fall upon them with a crushing force. Such, we have reason to believe, is the system of tactics which has been decided upon by the Czar and his generals; and in order to carry it out effective- ly, the mos: energetic exertions have been for some time past making to concentrate the ne- cessary number of troops in such positions as will be hikely to ensure its success. Although we have regularly been kept inform- ed of all the movements of the allies ia connexion with this expedition, we have learned but little until lately-of the extraordinary preparations made by the Russians to defeat it. For som: time past the Bmperor has been pouring im- mense levies of men into the Crimea, and en- trenching and fortifying all the approaches to Sebastopol. In the uncertainty in which we are placed by the cautious reserve of the Rus- sian press, and the partial admissions of the Western Journals, it Is of eburse impossible to form any anything like an exact estimate o! the means of resistance assembled by the Russians in the Crimea. It will be seen by a letter in this day’s paper from one of our correspondents whoce statements are in general characterized by great caution, and who has access to the most reliable sources of information, that there are grounds for believing that the Russians have at present about 170,000 troops in the Crimea, independent of the garrison of Sebas- topol. Considering the disproportionate num- bers of the army of tho expedition, and ‘he heterogeneous materials of which it is composed, we confess that we are far from sharing in the confidence which h § been expressed as to the results of this at- tempt. In point of courage and discipline no troops in the world are of course equal to the Englich and French troops; but courage and discipline will not always supply the balance of such overpowering odds. The previous disasters which have attended the Russian armi-s in the Danube must not be too securely relied upon asa set-off against their chances in the present campaign. They are now fighting in their own territories, re- moved fiom the influences that paralysed their former efforts, and they have the consciousness that if they are beaten, they will be shorn of much of their importance as a nation. Under such circumstances, we have had enough of his- torical examples to show what even greatly in- ferior numbers may effect. With most of the advantages upon the'r side, the Russians will be forever disgraced if in this instance they succomb to the ; ower of their invaders. On the other hand, should the allies be de- feated, the consequences will be disastrous to the peace of Europe, although we are far from regarding such a result as inimical to the liberties of mankind. It is out of such convul- sions that the democratic spirit usually gathers together the elements of its progress and strengthens itself in each hard-earned position that it wins. Yes: there are few whocan blind themselves to the conviction that if the cam- paign of the Crimea should prove a failure on the part of the allies, nothing can save Europe from a general war and its concomitants of anarchy and revolution. It is for sume im- portent event of this sort that Prussia has been timidly holding back, alternately consulting her fears and her sympathies, whilst Austria, bolder in her policy, has been adroitly pushing ber own interests by duping the allies, Let the Russian Emperor succeed but for a season in holding at defiance the combined forces of England and France, and we may witness strange revolutions in the prospects of the belligerents. The whole of Germany will pro hably declare ia his favor, and Sweden and Denmark will follow in its wake. The cam- paign of the Crimea is a die upon which, per- haps, more important destinies are cast than bave hung saspended upon any similar event vpon record, The struggle will therefore be ove of deep and all-absorving interest, even to as, who are not immediately affected by it, Let us look out, however, for its more distant and possible resuits.
