The advices which they bring, thov gh important, are for the mo- woent transsended in interest by he details of the verrible calamity w' sich has carried grief and deso- lation inte'so maDyy American homes. The new: of ‘the successful Jar sing of the allied forces is con- “firmed, with, ho svever, an important rectification in ‘tbe previous a scounts as to the place of disembarka” tion, which, i/ appears, is some twenty miles nearer 0 Sebastopol han was at first supposed. Jn a letter from our Paris correspondent, which we publisted a few days ago, it was stated that ‘there was a probability of the fleet under Sir Charles ‘Napier usdertaking some important operations in Wee Baitic before its return. This anticipation ts eonfirmed by an announcement nm the ‘ast advices ‘that orders have been received fom England for the bombardment of Revel. Untess, this operation ia to be attended with some ulterior @hject it may be looked upon merely as a concession to the ropn- lax clamor raised against the Britieh Admire) for not attempting the impossibilities expected of bim. In the meantime, the enxiety felt in Eagtand and FYranee-as to the results of the Crimean expedition tw interee. Phe confidence of the people of both countries in fta success continues unabated, and the money'mariots reflect the tirm tone of the pablic wind. Should the ellied forces, however, meet with © yeverse the reaction will be disastrous in the es- treme. the state of effaira in Spain presents no new phase ¢f importance. Bspartero’s govermmea: sseems to be strusgling successfully through its em- ‘barras@ments, the most formidable o? which appears to be want of funds, although the feeling ¢f the “Bpaninh capitelists is sad to be favorable to the present regime. The deficit bequeathed ase legacy by their predecessors is, however, of twooalirming a character to-be easily made up by any of the ordi mary ehifts-end devicesof Spanish fisanciers. The readiest an€ moat permanent relief from dusir ditii- culties would be the disposal of Caba to tnis coan- try for a proper consideration. This projet, whic’ had been regarded with so much indignation as fust, is new looked won with more cemplacency. By some extracts which will be fouad ia another part of cur paper, from the Madrid cozreapoudence ef the London Times, it will be seen that the plan is even beginning te tiad favor in the-eyes of those who beve most interest in opposing it. Our foreign ex banges are filled with comm ries en the erratic movements and undiplomatic ultra republiean tendencies of tha’ political Mepbis- topheles, M. Pisrre Soulé, He hes succeeded in puzzling all the European quid nunes,.and we are mot quite sure that his principles ef conduct are clear to himself. As inall eases where the public are at a loss toarsive at conclusions, ¢Xxtraueous evidence bas beon called in to assist their judgmen', We accordingly ind a curious -statement containca in a private letter from Madrid, which goes the length of asserting that a negre servant of M-, Soule, who had Jeft his house in consequence of having been severely chastised by his master, had given important information to the Igovernment re- specting the part alleged to have been taken by Mr. Soalé in the affair of the 28th of August, This affair, \f true, is only anotrer proof of the folly of a man’s losing his temper—an infirmity unfortunately ef not unfiequent occurrence wish our hot heade> representative. At last a counts Mr. S. was at Paris, on his way to Baden. It will be seen by an extract from the Hague cor respondence of the London News that the Dutch government have assumed a high tone, end have re- fused evy indemnity in the Gibson case. The grconds assigaed for this decision by the Minister of the Interior are, to s:y the least of them, remarkable for their boldness, after the curious disclosures ob- tained from the documents which found their way into Captein Gibson’s hands. If the government «f the Hague is determined to pash matters to extre mities, it should endeavor to put a more respectable face.on the matter. As to us, we have only one course to pursue, aud that is, to enforce the redress that is denied us, by taking possession of Caracoa, and holding it asa guarantee for the payment of the indemnity. Victoria (China) pspers of July 22 contain som interesting reports of the movements of the United States equadron, and are particularly Jond in praise “of the Captain of the brig Porpoice, for his astios in rescuing some ore hundred Chinese from death by starvation a‘ter shipwreck. CONVICTION OF CHARLES JAGER. ‘The trial of Charles Jager for the murder of John Morap, was concluded in the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer yesterday, and the jary rendered a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree. The court, on the rendition of the verdict, sentenced the culprit to three years confinement in the State prison. LATER FROM HAVANA. By way of New Orleans we have news from H + vana to the lst inst. The intellizence is devoid of general interest or importante. The papers are filled with orders and decrees regulating the organization of Gen. Concha’s govercment. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Owing to the adjournment of ‘Change, on account of the melancholy loss of life by the Arctic, busi. ness was materially curtailed. The few transactions made were chiefly conficed to the Corn Exchange, in the forenoon, which indicated increased firmness in Indian corn, ’and 25c. advance in flour. After the receipt of the Earopa’s news corn was held four cents higher per bushel, and flour also was more firmly held. Cotton was firm, with moderate trans actions. POLITICAL AFPAIRL—THE STATE ELECTIONS. The returns of the Penasylvania cle:tion show that the whigs and natives, or Know Nothings, have swept the State, Pollock, the whig candidate for Governor, being elected Governor probably by not less than ten thousand majority. The democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner, Mott, who was supported by the Know N othings, is also elected. Jeremiah 8. Black, democrat, it is believed is elect. ed Judge of the Supreme Court. The administration have sustained a defeat, like- wise, in members of Congress. It is not probable that more than three or four of the members who voted for the Nebraska bill are re-e'ected. The rest of the delegation will be whigs, Know Nothings, or natives, ard anti-Nebraska democrats. With regard to the Legislature, it is uncertain which party will have the majority, or whether the Maine law temperance men will have the control. The city and county of Philadelphia give a ma jority ‘n favor of a prohibitory liquor ‘aw, os far as the returns are received, of 3,869. From Ohio the returns received indicate a decided anti Nebraska majority, and the defea' of Olds (Ne braska democrat,) in the Columbus district. In Indiana anti-Nebraska members of Congress have been elected in every district heard from, by handsome mojorities. Te municipal election in Baltimore has resulted in the choice of Hinks, the Know Nothing candi date for Mayor, by a majority of 2,741. In Maseachusetts the Know Nothiogs have nomi pated free scilers for members of Congress. In this c'ty last evening C. W. Schaffer was nomi pated as the whig candidate for the office of Com- missioner of Streets. At the soft shell demo-titic jndiclal convention James M. Smith, Jr., received the nomination fo y Schaffor owas selected for Dis' B. Sbep 74, the orover n i ‘ ; ‘Tenth ward met last evening, and nominated James | sidezate, and unjustifiable. We regret that the W. Barker for Mayor. THE LOST STEAMSEIP. We refer our readers to the copidhs details re" specting the ‘oss of the Arctic, publi-hed in to day's psper. A despatch from Halifax, received last might, tates that t'e passengers saved from the | wrecked vesee' went fward by the Earops to Bos | ton. ‘ such rhould prove to be th: case, we shall in a few days receive additional particulars respect ing thie m urnful event, which has casta gloom over the whole country. NEWS FROM THE PACIFIC. T stramsbip North Star arrivel a this port yesterday from Aspin +l, with the semi-monthly mail from California, large amount of tre:sure, andaful complemen of pessengers.

It has never devolved upon this journal to receri se awful a catastrophe as that which hes appeared in our columns, In the whole history of shipwrecks, the loss of the y steamer Arctic stands without parallel. There | have no doubt been cases where the loss of life was greater, or where scenes of horror were more thickly crowded tegether: but these we canenly picture in the imagination; we can only dream, as in a frightful nightmare, of the awful hour which saw the last survivors of the President and the City of Glasgow sink be- neath the wave. Among the narratives of meritime disasters which have reached us in authentic form, nene can harrow the feelings like the one we publish this morning. In every point of view, it is upprecedented. The col- lision took place et mid-day, in calm weather, in the broad Atlantic, forty miles from ‘land: # thousand years might elapse and ne two ves- vels again pass over that fatal spot. The Arctic was, all things considered,:as noble and as perfect a vessel as floats. So high had naval architecture and skill been developed in her construction and management that she might almost have been considered storm proof. Science hed raised her beyond the reach of harm from the sea, or the wind or fire. Nothing but just such anaccident as has occurred could have destroyed her. Even a collision vith nineteen out of twenty sea-going vessels would not have endangered her: it necded @ large heavy steamship to tell upon the extraordinary strength of her hull. The large heavy steamship was there. After the col- lision, in nine cases out of ten,a rail passed for- ward over the bews, and mattresses forced into the leak, would have enabled her to sail the short distance of forty miles which separated her from Cape Race. The leak could not be stopped: she did not sail one mile before the end came. Altogether, the hand of fate over- powering the effort of man, and setting at nought the most careful bat oa and the strongest probabilities, was never more appa- rent. So unexpected was the shock as to paralyze the whole city yesterday. Business was stopped. Such was the anxiety to learn par. ticulars of the disaster that 72,000 copies of our edition of yesterday were sold without ex- hausting the demand, Men had no thought but for the unfortunates, who in the midst of their pleasures, and on the eve of a return to their home, were suddenly thrust in‘o the jaws of death. No steamer had arrived here for months freighted with eo many of our leading citizens. Names familiar to us all from child- hood follow each other in sad succession in the list of passengers. So goodly a company is seldom offered to the hungry wave. Out of the whole two hundred and twenty-six, we ouly know of twenty persons, and not one female, that have been saved. For our part, however, we will not yet relinquish hope for some portion of the remainder. At least three boats may be still above water w'th human beings in them, andif £0, We have every reason to believe they may be picked up. Those who know Mr. Gourlay, the first officer, entertain strong hopes from his skill and energy: he left the Arctic, as will be re- membered, to go to the aid ot the other steamer. Besides, there is still a chance that some vessel may have rescued stray passengers from portions of the wreck. It is certain—deeply grieved are we to say it—that the family of Mr. Collins, together with most of the ladies, perished before the steamer began to rink, in consequence of the tackles of their boat giving way. We know also that seventy-one men and four females died m‘serably on the raft during the night of the 27th. One boat load of men from the un- known steamer was run over by the Arctic, and all hands save one lost. The fate of all the others on board both the vessels is yet a mys tery. God will that we be allowed hereafter to record their escape! That the steamship Arctic has foundered, no one seems to doubt: we have only the boats and stray fragments of the wreck to rely on in her case, But the fate of the other steamer is by no means certain. None of the survivors can speak positively on the subject: they all think she went down, but cannot say for a cer- tainty that she may not have remained long enough above water for aid to reach her. Even her name is,uncertain. She was at first supposed to be the Charity, which is now lying in the port of Quebec: then the Glagogr, which left this on 23d; then the Cleopatra, which sailed from Quebec on 24th for Liverpool. Bat it is difficult to reconcile the accounts we re- ceive of her appearance with that of these ves- sels. The Glasgow has four masts; the strange steamer three. The Cleopatra has a thistle on her pipe; the strange vessel had none. The former had hardly had time to reach the spot where the collision took place by the 27th: the latter would have steered a more northerly course. A seaman from the Arctic states that one of the crew of the strange vessel was picked up by his boat, and asserted that she was a French steamer sent to bring home the French fishermen from the Banks : this account is con- firmed by officer Baahlam’s despatch from Hali fax. The first impulse of those who have lost a friend or arelation by snch disasters as this, and indecd of the public generally, ie to impute blame to some quarter or other, This may be 5 ROMO exovendle, and , deep source of consolation to the survivors Arctic should have been running thirteen miles an bour in adense fog: and we wish we had heard that some means had been employed to signal her approach. It would moreover be a could they congratulate thems:lves on having saved at least some of the women and children: or, at all events, on the number of passengers sived bearing some closer proportion to that of the seamen and firemen. No military achievement ever re- flected such undying faméon British soldiers as tieir conduct at the wreck of the Birken- head, when every woman and child was saved, and a whole regiment stood steady in the ranks as the ch{p went down with all on board. Wet us hope that further accounts will relieve the men of the Arctic from all suspic on. It only remains, now, for us to offer our sin- cere sympathy to those whom this awfal castas- tropbe has bereaved of a friend or a'relation. To him especially, whose enterprise‘venceived and energy carried out the plan of the steamship line, now bereft of one of its‘noblest vessele— and who 1. ses not only a ship ‘he loved as such men leve their creations, ut all whe. were dearest to him—wife, son, and daughter—we woukd offer whatever sotace a knowledge of our heartfelt sympathy can bestow. Some cor- sotation it must be, in this hour of bitter trial, to remember that theAast act of the son who is mo more was one of memorable heroism; that he threw from him a proffered life preserver, as the ship sunk in the water, end bade him who tendered it carry it at onee to the ladies. What nobler death could he heve died? A lesson, too, we may leam from’this awful event. As steamships increase, and speed be- comes every’ day a greater object with captains and shipowners, the danger of collisiens is fear- fully magnified. Ten ships now sail where one formerly: shall we net make precaution keep pace with risk, an@ as our navy swells, compel ships and steemboats to enlar,ze the measures of prudence by which abone security can be attained? LVANIA, ‘OHIO AND ' spoils-party has been routed like the Philistines, from Philadelphia stesight threugh to the east- ern ‘boundary of IMinois. The scattering re. turns we have received are fell of interesting resulte, It is apparent that Pollock is elected Governor of Pennsylvania ‘by a crushing ma- jority, and asuppesed anti-Nebraska majority of fifty thousand for Ohio, is ‘‘pesitively shocking.” Indiana appears to have gone the same way with.a rush. The fact is, the people are sick and tired of the Cabinet and Kitchen Cabinet spoils- men at Washingten; and thus the excuse ef the Nebraska bill has-been so.powerfully efficient in “crushing out’? the administration in the great West. Dr. Olds, the man who labored so very hard for an increase of postages at the last session of Congress, as an instrument of the Cabinet, is defeated of a re-election, by from 1,800 to 2,000 majority the other way. The result will pro- bably be useful to other time servers ef the Cabinet spoilsmen whe have yet to be iried at the polls. We shall recur to these elections again. Enousn Orgra To xiaut —The ‘ Bohemian Girl” is to be given this evening at the Broadway Theatre. It should be borne in mind that Mr. Harrison was the ori ginal Thaddeus when that aper§ was produced at Drury Lene. ‘Tne THEATRES.—In consequence of the g:eat press cf foreign news, we are compelled to omit the usual the atrical notices, and refer our reacers to the advertisin, columns for the particulare of this evening’s amuse- ments.
