NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA. The steamship Northern Light arrived at this port last night, bringing two weeks later newa from California, snd later intelligence from the Sandwich elands, the Society Islands, and Washington and Oregon Territories. In a political point of view the wews is very important. The State election took Place on the 6th September. Partial returns only ‘Red been received at San Francisco, but enqugh was Reownto ect at rest all doubt as to the political ®omplexion of the next Legislature. The “trus @emocrats” had beaten iheir opponents, par fisularly the Broderick faction, in a manner entirely satisfactory to themselves. There js great doubt, however, whether the Legislatare will be able to agree upon a United States Senator im place of Dr.Gwin. The democratic candidates for Congress—Messra. Denver and Herbert—are ur- doubtecly elected. But the fact of special interest— @bat seems to have completely dumfounded and Dewildered the politicians of the placers, and scat- ered their combinations to the winds—is the over. whelming victory in San Francisco of the terrible ‘and omnipresent Know Nothings, The day pre- ious to the election the members of the order pominated a ticket, composed partly of whigs and partly of no party men—among the latter a candi- date for Mayor—and elected every man upon it bya large majority, except two Aldermen and one Assis:- ant Alderman. We have copied from the San Fran- cieco journals full accourits of the election, and refer to the extracts in another column for details. The removal of the head-quarters of Gen. Wool to Benicia, bas called forth severe avimadyersions ypon I ‘the conduct of the administration. ‘The semi-monthly shipment of treasure will reach two millions. Business bad revived and become quite active. Every branch of industry had received an impetus, and matters wese going on swimmingly sgair. The ravages caused by the conflagrations throughout tie State have in a great measure beeu repaired. The miners are represented as doing well in alisections. The wheat crop isso groatas to lead to the belief that flour will be exported with profit, and our shippers are requested to take the hint in time. The news from Oregon and Washington Ter. ito- ries, thcugh interesting, presents no features of im- portance. The accounts from Honolulu are confined to the eelebration of the restoration of the independence of the kingdom. * Later advices from the Marquesas and Society Islands state that the natives were being rapidly kiled off by intestine wars, and the French were ooking on with unconcern, os it tended to facilitate Wheir occupation of them. The missionaries had met with little succese, and they contemplated re- tiring from their labors. We bave also received by this arrival late papers from Jamaica, but they contain little of interest to our readers, being mainly occupied with discussing Jocal political questions. STATE ELECTIONS TO-MORROW. ‘To-morrow elections will take place in Pennsyl wania, Ohio and Indiana, for fifty seven members of Congress, besides State legislators and other offi- ere. In Pennsylvania, a Governor is likewise to ‘ee chosen, and the choice of a United States Sena- tor, in, place of Hon. James Cooper, is involved in the issue. CLOSE OF THE CATHOLIC COUNCIL, ‘The first Provincial Council of the Catholic Charch ‘im the province of New York was closed yesterday with oll religious solemnity. The sermon on the oo easion was preached by Bishop McClosky, of Al- bany, and, as a piece of pulpit eloquence, and clear ‘and logical argumentation on the church’s doctrine of infaliibility, it will commend itself to all who feey any interest in such matters, A TYIERRIBLE TRAGEDY. ‘We publish elsewhere a letter from our corres- pondent at Greene, Chenango county, which gives anaccount of a thrilling tragedy recently enacted im that village. It appears that a returned Cali fornian nemed Davis bad a misunderstanding with his wife, which led to a separation. Davis met his brother-in-law, with whom his wife rosided, and after a brief conversation, they parted, when he @rew a revolver and sho’ his relative in the back, Killing biminstantly. He then proceeded in seare’s of his wife, whom be a’so shot, and she expired io @short time after. As a fitting clinmx to this scene of horror, the wretched man tarned the weapon ‘wpon his own breas’ and slew himself. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Owing to light receipts and a good domestic de- mand, there was Saturday again a better feeling in eommon snd medium grades of State flour, aad prices closed at about 12) cents per barrel advance. ‘Wheat was quict, sales light, and prices unsettled. Indian corn sold freely at 77c. « 78c. for sound, the Iatter figare for good Western yellow, and the former for mixed. Mess [pork declined, and sales were made at $12 379$12 26. At the close no buyers for large lots appeared above $12. This price, how: ever, was cffered for 1,000 barrels, cash, and not taker. Cotton was steady, with sales of 400 to 500 Dales. A jobbing grocery firm failed yesterday for a considerable amount. It was rumored that ia ad- dition to their ordinary line of busicess, thoy ‘had at some period embarked to some extent in the California trade. The house for some time, by money brokers, had not been considered very strong. At New Ore: net , there was a ver, active demand ton, ten sand bale were sold on thi dthe precediog dsy. Tue new a. bon Was arciving in groat quaatities, the receipts nese, and makes the lines of demarcation beo- tween the various rival elements in the general controversy tzansparent to the naked eye. Sinee July last, it thus appears, we have been blest with the following political State Conven- tions, to wit:— 1, Hard Shel} Demoecrtic, at Syracuse--, 2. Anti-Nebrax ka Coalition, at : aratoga. : 3. Soft Shell Democratic, at Syracuse, 4 4. Whig Anti Slavery Coalition, at Syracuse....Sept. 20 5. Free Soil Proper, st Auburn... -Sept. 25 6. Second Edition of Saratoga Affair, Sept. 26. 1. Seratoga Seceders at Auburn., ‘Sept 26-7 8. State Temperance Conventior, Sept 27 9. Liberty Party at Syracuse.....,..ars.++++ Sept. 29 10, Know Nothing State Council, New Yori..Oct. 5, 6, 7 For’ the practical purposes of the cam. paign, the,@ Parties and factions may be re- duced to four, “8@ely:— 1, The Whig Anti-s.. ‘Very Coalition. 2, The Democratic Hara . Dells. 3. The Democratic Soft she."8- 4. The Know Nothings. The other six organizations may be throws out of the estimate, for they will be absorbed or reduced to the scatteriag votes of the elec- tion. The whig coatition has already apnre ae-- priated, especially upon the Govefadr, the Sa ratoga antislavery fusionists, the temperance Maine Jaw party, and the free soilers proper. The Saratoga seceders and the Liberty party are too insignificant in numbers to require any further notice. The independent voter has, therefore, only to choose between the democratic hards and softs, the whig coalition, and the Know Noth- ings; and the principles of each, in our general chapter, are given from the official records. The whig coalition is thoroughly abolition- ized party, ignoring all past associations with Southern whigs, and forming the nucleus of a grand Northern abolition crusade against the South, the Constitution and the Union in 1856, The Maine law party have ven- tured to purchase a triumph by an alliance with this seditious amalgamation of agitators and fanatics; and it is for the sober conserva- tive people of this great commonwealth to ad judge, whether in the end, if this alliance be successful now, it will be advantageous to good morals or disastrous to the peace of the Union and the safety of society. We are quite free to repeat our deliberate conviction that the suc- cess of the Seward programme will cast us out upon the high road to active edition, secession, disunion and civil war. The bard shell democratic platform is sound and conservative upon the great issues of po- j ular sovereignty in the territories, non-inter- vention on the slavery question and annexation. They leave the temperance alliance and the Know Nothings to take care of themselves. Of the hard shell nominee for Governor, it is not necessary to say avything here, He is a steady, straight-forward reliable conservative {upon all the vexed questions of the passing hour, as well as upon the enduring and paramount question of Southern slavery. A prominent feature in the platform of the hards,is continued hostility to the udministration «s having deserted the well defined landmarks of the national democracy. The democratic soft shell platform is a re- volving one upon the Nebraska bill, and pre- sents a suocession of dissolving views on both sides of ‘Mason and Dixon’s line of a very interesting character. They stick to the administration as the head ofthe national democratic party, declare war against the Know Nothings, while in their ratification at Tammany Hall, they have made the question of free trade in the liquor business, wholesale and retail, wines, brandies, whiskey, gin and Jager bier, the single issue of the campaiga. They drop the administration, the Nebraska bill, and everything else, and throw themselves entirely and without a reservation, upon the broad shoulders of Governor Seymour and his masterly veto of the Maine Liquor law. The Know Nothings, for what object it is im- possible to conceive, have nominated an inde- pendent ticket of their own; and thus, upon the Governor, the people must determine between Clarke, Bronson, Seymour and Ullman. We still incline to the suspicion that Ullman is but aseare crow, a ruse de guerre, a will-o-the- wisp, a man of straw, set up by the Know Nothings, to be abandoned on election day. No doubt there will be a good deal of cross fir- ing betw een Clark, Bronson and Seymoar; but, unless the Union loving and law abiding people of the State make the supremacy ofthe constitution and good faith to that vital compact, superior to all other issues, it is vain to enter upon any estimates for the defeat of Clark, and the dis- union programme of Seward and his allies. From the defections among the temperance men against the whig lieutenant; from the open-monthed rebellion of the silyer grays against his nomination, and from the alleged hostility of the Know Nothings to the man, it is very likely that he may be defeated. This, however, will be but the overthrow of the squire, when the knight himself should be the object of attack. Our purpose, for the present, is to enlighten our readers upon the opposing parties and the conflicting principles in the arena. This ob- ect, with the chapter of results of our various State Conventions, and with the brief explana © given, we thiok bas been ions which we hi achie The path of patriotism, of duty. wd of safety, apprehon clearly indt od, Jet our readers conault the record, aad degide according!y, the week before : the total mortality being 516. This is mainly due to the beautiful weather we have enjoyed. Now is the time for the citizzas of the “rural districts” to visit the metropolis. The hotels are already fiiig up; the larger ones—the Metropolitan, St. Nicholas, Astor Houre, &c.—have already had an overflow.

Oa Satur ay lost, another man was drowned at one of their ferries while attempt ng to leap oa | » board the boat after she had left the pier. Such occurrences, a: all our readers kn ww, have been very frequent o! late. On every imilar ecca- sion the press aad the public have oudlly urged upon the ferry masters he necessity of pre- | venting accidents of this nature by closing the | gates, or barring the way to the boat with a | chain or other contrivance, so soon as the bell | had rung sor starting. Not the smallest notice has hen »ken of the admonition. Persone bave been and still are allowed to leap olf the boats before they reach the whar, and to leap on board-¢f thenafter they have started. Those who act tims impradentiy have in general no idea of the danger they rur. Haste and inex- perience prevent their est matiog accurately the space which divide: the boat from the shore. They venture the peri‘ous leap, and every now and then some unlucky individual misses his fuothold ans is drowmed. All this time, the ferry -maater or his men stand coolly ‘by, foresee the accident, but stretch no hand to avert it, It is time thatthie negligence were stopped. ‘Ne principle of law ie clearer than this, that » maa is responsible for accidents of which his act, though not the cause. is still the -occasion. We are all bound not only uot ‘inflict injury uponanother, but to guard against it and protect each other. If our business is such that with- out any direct fault of ours, the life or liegb of one imprudent fellow-citizen may be endiwn- gered thereby, the law binds us to take extraor- dinary precautions for his protection and seew- rity. Thus workmen, at work with brick, stone, wood or other materials at the upper stories or on the roof of a house are obliged to employ a man to warn passengers of the dan- ger of passing under the eaves: though clearly & prudent man would foresee the danger and avoid it without such intimatios. So he who digs a hole in the road must set a light over the pitfall by n'ght so serve as a beacon to the un- wary: aud it would be no excuse for him in case of accident from omission ox this safeguard to say that a prudent man would have seen the danger and avoided it. Our laws must always be made for fools, not for wise men: and herein the rules of the Union Ferry Company, and in- déed of all our New York ferries, are glaringly defective. They suppose in every man who pays them bis two censs, sufficient cantiousness and experience to avoid the trap they set: whereas the spirit of our law clearly imposcs on them the duty not only of carrying Dassen- gers to and fro, but of protecting the lives o those passengers while in their premises, When they evade this obligation and accidents ensue, they are accessories before the fact: and earn another claim to the title of public nuisance, We hope that the attention of our grand juries and prozecuting officers may be drawn to the subject, and at all events that it may be decided how fara ferry master is responsible for accidents which occur in consequence of the neglect of proper precautions on his part. We submit, if it must be, to enrich the owners of our ferries by paying them twice as high a rate of toll as they ought to exact ; but we cannot suffer our citizens to be slanghtered, in order to economise the time or the labor of their ser- vants, Tax Heatta or re Grry.=t will be good Rews to ovr “country cousins” to perceive that the health of the city is so much improved. Last week’s return shows a diminution of 96 on Opera at the Broadway—pretty fall toilettes, and all sorts of attractions invite the stranger to the city. There is plenty of room for all. Dramatic and Musical Matters. The past week has been a very prosperous one for al! ‘the regular theatres, At the Metropolitan Miss Julia Dean has coneluded athree weeks’ engagement, during which time the receipts of the thratre have never beeu less than five huodred dollars on any one night. Miss Dean hes played Pauline, Lady Teazle, Evadne, Juliet, and several other of the routine ports. She has beon well supported by Mr. E Eddy in the opposite characters. Mr. H, Etynge bas made his début before a New York audiences as Charles Surface and Mercutio. has a fine face and figure, and acts with a gree of dash and spirit which made him at once a favorite with the audience. During the past week, ® rew dramatic version of ‘“Lucrozia Borgia’? has been played; it is the work of Mr. Young We have have now three adaptations of M. Victor Hugo's very effective drama, but Mr Young’s is altogether the best of thom. The story is givea more in detail, effects are better and the language is more beau- tifulfand vigorous, Gubctta is written up and made the principal male part in the pieco. It was well done by Mr. Kady. Miss Dean gave s highly colored but very effective picture of Lucrezia, and Mr. Thomp- son received a great deal of applause for his excellent rendering of the Duke. Eddy had hid first benerit at this house on Saturday night ond played Claude Melnotte in the ‘Lady of Lyons,” and Jesn in “ The Rag Pisker of Paris.’’ The theatre was well filled. Mr. Eddy’s Claude is a fine performanco—the third act was vory well played. — Mr. Forrest has closed a three weoks’ engagement atthe Broadway theatie.

On tho nights when he has played these parts, it has been diflcalt to get even standing room in the theatre ——At the Opera House, or “ Acsdemy of Musis,”” “Norma” has beoa played once, and ‘Lucrezia Borgia” twice.

There is a great desl of curiosity in musical dramati: circles relative to this company, and they will probably be received by one of the fullest houses of the season. At the Metropolitan, Mise Makeab, 2 young lady said to be highly g fted both mentaily and physically, will make her first appearance on any staze, as Parthenia in ‘Jpgomar.’? Mr. Wiseman Marshall, one of the very best actors on the American stage, wil! play Ingomar. Mr. Marsball has been a strang»r to the New York boards during the last six years.

Mr. strong then re- marked thet he never knew an American actor to leave a theatre with his name in the bill. The assertion was ridiculous in the extreme. The audience gave three ed cheers for Mr. Hale, and Mr. Strong retired. after som> fifty minutes’ worth of meltiog har from our Ger- pe et fence had bert do like ineclt—wale horse.

Junius Brutus Booth, the stegs mansger, had accepted a whig nomination for the State Legislature. Forgan —The London Sunday Times published a bi- ography of Mrs. Fitzwilliam. We make an extract :— *-On the termination of her engagement at the Hay. market she paid a visit to the United states. She was received at New York, as Poggy, in the ‘Country Girl,” with perfect enthusiasm; but it was in her celebrated Monopologues of “Widow @ ”? and ‘‘The Belle of the Hotel,’ that she most hed the Americans, who had never seen anything of the kind attempted by an ac trees. The impression she made in New York secured ber weloome — America, both in north and south, and particularly at New Orleans, where she was serens- ded nightly. and showers of bouquets given to her on every performance. At New Orleans she was joined by Mr Buckstone, and the two English comedians visited Havana, wi they were equal " sucesssfal as in the States. On her return to England in 1842, she fulfilled a short ee at the Haymarket, and was then en- geged by Mr Webster, for the Adelphi, of which as well as the Haymarket, be was lessee at the time. While acting here eppeared in Mr. Buckstone’s romantic @ Green Bushes,” in which her admirable performance of Nelly O'Neill, and her powerful delines. tion of Starlight Bess, the gipsey girl, in the same au tho~’s “lowers of the Forest,’” must be fresh ia the recollection of all London plsygoers. When Mr Back- stone became lessee of the Haymarket theatre, in March, 1858, Mra Fitewiilism occupied a leading position in the corps dramatique, and by her varied talent aided the ex- ertions of the manager and the excellent artistes with whom she was associated.’” At the Worcester musical fes!ival, the total amount realized for the charity for the relief fof the wi, dows and orphans of clergy of tre dioceses of Worcester Hereford and Gloucester was £1,004 17s. 11d., showing an increase of £180 on the receipts cf the last Worcester festival in 1851. The amount received at Gloucester last year was £805 15s. 9d.; and at Hereford in 1852, £867. It is expected that farther donations will swell the amount to £1,020. Miss Juliana G.

The accounts which they bring back with them must hare s tendency to reduce the emigration of thst particular class, and to direct it, as they have dono already, to some extent, towards Australia. Nota few, we have been in formed, were only two or thr-e weeks in the country, and returned in the same vassels in which they came over. ‘hese doubtless had formed the most ex- teavagant ideas of the New World, and imaginod, like thousands of others who precedei them, that to realize a fortune here was but the work of a year. Some who have been successful in the pursuit of weal-b, after yearsof labor, have returned to spend the rest of their lives in the land of their birth, while others have been actuated in doing so sololy, it is said, by apprehensioas in regard to the present native American feeling against foreigners. There ars other causes which might be assigned for ‘thip partial reaction, but those we have enumerated are the principal. But, after all, the small namber who re- turn do not exceed ten or fifteen per cent of the arrivals, and, we do not believe, will ever sensibly affect the sum total of emigration. All or nearly sll who emigrate to this country do so with the intention of inazing it their adopted home, although it is almost impossible to eradicate that feeling which binds them to their na- tiveland. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, if few out of the hundreds of theusands who come here should find their way back again to their fatherland. But it must not be supposed that all leave this country with the intention of never returning, for quite a considerable number go back for the purpose of brivging their friends over. This is particularly the case wi-h the Irish and Germans, who form the great mass of emigrants that are constantly arriving at this and other ports. The St. Nicolas, wich sailed last Wed- nesday for Havre, had about sixty passengers, consisting principally of French farmers and mechanics,who, in con- sequence, chiefly of the difference in language, found it exceedingly difficult to procure satisfactory employment. Many of theso who were without means were sent home by the French Consul, whose government generously al- lows a certain amount annually for such purposes. The Italians who have emigrated this year in larger numbers ‘than during any former period, seldom think of return- fing, but if they can’t succeed in one city go to another. Califecnia has received considerable accessions to its popaistien from Italy quite recently, and a large num- ber who formerly pursued the profession of itinerant musicians in this city with hand organs, sre now dig- ging the yellow ore in the mines of that distant State. ‘They seem to experience little difficulty in making their way, and, unlike the French who come here, can adapt thegseiyes to almos’ any ccniition of life, It was rxmored some time ago that a German socie- ty bad been formed in New York and other placzs with the view of preventing the emigration of their countrymen to the United States; but,jf there is really such s body in existence, its movements are kept so secret that the public never hear of them. Its origin was said to be owing to the Know Nothing excitement, and it was reported that it bad eaused the circulation throughout Germany of «large number of documents tending to prejudice the people there against this coun- try. We are rather inclined to doubt the truth of this story, but we know the various German governments are exert- ing their utmost power to stay the tide of emigration hither, though so fer withouteffect. Thé return of even & few, however, with discouraging accounts, will do more towards the accomplishment of their ubject than all the restrictions which they could impose upon those emigrants. ‘The number who have left this port for Germany, Eng. Jand and other parts of Europe, since the first of August, is estimated at six thousand, or between ten and fifteen per cent on the total amount of emigration during the same time.

BROADWAY YRSTERDAY.—We had an inkling of the In- dian summer yesterday, if this mysterious season is not altogether to be regarded asa poetical myth. It was a soft, delicious, unclouded day—neither too warm nor too cold, neither too wet nor too dry. Broadway looked as Broadway only can look when thronged with foot passen- gers. Wenever remember to have seen the great tho roughfare more crowded or more bustling with fair ladies and their gay cavaliers, Citizens from every quarter of the town seemed bent upon promenading there—from those who were cager to display a well made foot, en- cased in an exquisite boot, to the wearer of the more homely, and perhaps more serviceable, hob nailed shoe. ‘The fair sex were out in great forco, dressed in the ex- treme of fashion. The sidewalks, indeed, looked like a kaleidercope, there was such a flaunting of parti-oclored ribbons—such a profusion of the choicest flowers-—such an array of beautifnl bonnets, perched upon the top of the most charming heads in the world. Silks ani satin rustled and swept the pavements. It is proverbial 4hat ‘a. straw can tell which way the wind blows. If ao, this ry 2] ce of Broadway would indicate that prices jy reduced lately, and that money is not quite 80 tight as alarmists would have us believe May the ladies always look as wellaa they did yesterday.
